There are six Endorsing Bodies who assess applications in different fields of expertise.  Each Endorsing Body has criteria that you must fulfil in order to receive endorsement.

Read below for more details of its endorsement criteria.

  • Digital technology – Tech Nation
  • Arts and culture – Arts Council England
  • Science and medicine – The Royal Society
  • Engineering – The Royal Academy of Engineering
  • Humanities – The British Academy
  • Higher education and research applicants – UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). An applicant must have received a successful grant application from an endorsed funder approved by UKRI.
