Innovate UK Smart Grants: January 2020
Dear Innovate UK,
Please could you provide the following information in regards to the Smart Grants: January 2020 Competition:
- the total number of application
- the number of assessed applications (not disregarded due to being deemed out of scope etc)
- the number of applications funded
- the number of applications funded per 'innovation area'
- the average funding amount per project
- the smallest and largest amount of funding per project
- the average score
- the success threshold
- decision-making process based on portfolio (ie, why higher scoring projects might not get funded and lower scoring project get funded).
I believe it is in the public interest for this information to be published, ensuring that UKRI / Innovate UK are held accountable for their utilisation and allocation of public money.
Yours faithfully,
Loise Teigao
