We’re here for the 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.
The Innovation Seed Fund aims to prime innovative research into hearing loss, tinnitus, and other hearing-related conditions. It focuses on supporting novel research ideas to make them more competitive for obtaining follow-on funding. The program is interested in small-scale projects that are at the translational stage, including proof-of-concept studies or pre-clinical validation studies, to enhance their potential for further funding. Proposals should demonstrate potential benefits for individuals with hearing loss, tinnitus, or other hearing-related issues. It encourages highly novel, innovative, and even potentially risky ideas.
