Past projects
Proof of Concepts Programme: Flagship Projects
With the UK SPINE flagship projects we aim to deliver outputs with the potential for significant impact on ageing research, whilst at the same time catalysing the cultural change that the UK SPINE aims to lead. Flagship projects set out to be high visibility, high impact, and cross-institution initiatives. They will strengthen strategic partnerships; embed multiple KE best practice; deliver UK-wide economic benefit and have the potential for commercialisation of outputs.
Proof of Concepts Programme: Bridge Projects
Bridge projects accelerate translation of cutting edge science developed by members of the UK SPINE network. We fund a range of exciting, innovative, translationally-focused projects, that will accelerate the development of new products that improve healthspan and treat multi-morbidities.
Knowledge Exchange Projects
We believe that science is not driven by great ideas alone, but also by networks of people that are committed to delivering impact from these ideas. These projects enable people to workacross the ageing innovation space to exchange knowledge. This includes the pharmaceutical industry, SMEs, VCs, academia, the NHS, patient groupsand spans academic fields including biomedicine, law, and economics.
Strategic Projects
The UK SPINE supports initiatives which we have identified as essential to the KE needs of the UK SPINE network. These projects are conceptualised, initiated and run in collaboration with our strategic partners.
