N8 Agrifood funded pump priming projects
N8 AgriFood is a £16 million interdisciplinary research programme co-funded by the N8 Partnership Universities (Liverpool, Durham, Lancaster, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York) and HEFCE.
As part of the scheme, a fund has been created by the University of Liverpool, supported by CESFS, for academics to bid for up to £10k of pump priming funds. The aim of the fund is to create proof of principle data that can be used to stimulate collaboration between N8 partners and to underpin external grant applications.
