This is an unprecedented time for public funding into research, development and innovation.

If you are a Dorset-based organisation, and are thinking about applying for funding, then Dorset LEP’s new Bid Writing Support Service will interest you.

• Dorset Gateway’s Bid Writing Support Service (BWSS) is a free offer for Dorset-based individuals/organisations/businesses.
• It is funded through Government money and is aimed at supporting high potential/high growth organisations.
• Applicants can access up to 40 hours of dedicated support. The level of support offered will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
• Whilst applications are welcomed from a range of applicant types (e.g. SMEs, universities, start-ups), the guiding principles for support are as follows:
  • Alignment with the grand challenges and foundations for growth in the UK’s Industrial Strategy and aims and objectives of Dorset’s Strategic Economic Plan;
