How can your business apply?
Accessing support under Grant for R&D couldn’t be easier and our specialist teams of experts and advisors are on hand to guide you through every stage of the application process.
1. Project Definition
Whilst this is not a prerequisite for accessing support under Grant for R&D, small to medium sized enterprises* can undertake a Project Definition exercise to help plan and clearly define an R&D project.
*Small Enterprise: A small enterprise is defined as a business that has fewer than 50 employees and an annual turnover or an annual Balance Sheet not exceeding €10 million.
Medium Sized Enterprise: A medium sized enterprise is defined as an enterprise that has between 50 employees and 249 employees and has either an annual turnover not exceeding €50 million or an annual Balance Sheet not exceeding €43 million.
2. Grant for R&D
If you have already defined an R&D project and can meet the selection criteria, your business can access the appropriate level of financial support under Grant for R&D without undertaking the Project Definition stage. The level of funding available will depend on the type of project and size of your business.
