Innovate UK – Open Funding Competition – new question order

On the face of it, Innovate UK’s new Open Funding Competition is looking to replace the old SMART grant scheme.

There have been some major changes, which I will write about in new course.

First things first, the questions that need answering in your proposal document came along in a different order, which can be a worry if you are looking to re-purpose an old proposal, however they roughly align with the previous regime, thus:

Old Smart Question 1 -> New Open Question 1

Old Smart Question 2 -> New Open Question 4

Old Smart Question 3 -> New Open Question 5

Old Smart Question 4 -> New Open Question 6

Old Smart Question 5 -> New Open Question 7

Old Smart Question 6 -> New Open Question 2

Old Smart Question 7 -> New Open Question 8

Old Smart Question 8 -> New Open Question 3

Old Smart Question 9 -> New Open Question 10

Old Smart Question 10 -> New Open Question 9
