How are successful applications selected for funding?

Video 2 of 5 - This video provides information on the decision-making process applied after the assessment process has been concluded. Transcript: After the independent assessment process has been concluded, Innovate UK carries out a number of steps to moderate the assessor scores, and make sure the final selection for funding is fair and transparent. First, we check for outliers in the assessor scores. We may choose to remove any scores that appear unjustified or unsupported by the comments provided by the assessors. Next, we will look at the assessors answers to the final recommendation questions, which check whether an application is in scope and worthy of funding. For an application to be considered for funding they must receive a majority vote from the assessors on both of these questions. Finally, we will check the minimum quality threshold which ensures that only innovative, high quality applications are considered for funding. Typically, this is a score of 70% or above. Once the three key checks are complete, we list the applications in ranked order with the highest scoring application at the top. This is known as the panel sheet. Innovate UK takes two approaches when it comes to allocating funding; A top down approach where funds are allocated to applications from the top down until the competition budget is reached. Alternatively a portfolio approach can be used where applications are selected to suit a specific spend profile for a competition. The competition brief will specify if a portfolio approach will be used. Finally, the recommended list of applications is then presented to Innovate UK’s funders panel for approval. The funders panel will review the recommendations in line with the competition scope. Once approved, applicants are notified of the outcome and the assessor's feedback is made available. Feedback is intended to be constructive and may contain conflicting comments due to the assessors' individual interpretation of your project idea. Unfortunately, there is no right of appeal against the assessor feedback, and neither Innovate UK nor its assessors are able to enter into further communication. Some of our competitions involve a two-stage application process which could include a second stage written application or an interview panel and some competitions may follow a non-standard assessment approach. The competition brief will provide full details. For more information on the assessment process, please visit https://iuk-business-connect.org.uk/h....
