EPSRC Place Based Impact Acceleration Account
Innovating Medical Technologies Across the Yorkshire Region
The Place Based Impact Acceleration Account (PBIAA) is an EPSRC scheme providing funding to support a programme of impact activities within a research and innovation cluster. This PBIAA is based on the medical technologies (MedTech) cluster in the Yorkshire region and will support the translation of university research into new clinical products and services. It is one of ten PBIAAs awarded in the first round of the scheme and is led by the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield (‘the consortium’). The funding will support projects that accelerate impact from university research.
