Getting Started
You will need…
Clear documentation on the new knowledge you are gaining with the work.
This is about clearly establishing that you are doing new work that has not been ‘discovered’ elsewhere in the world. This is core to being eligible for the grant, so it is important to put focus on this right at the start. We can help make this step easy by providing you with a template that you can use to ‘document’ your ‘new’ knowledge, regardless of whether you are working on a new software program, a new product or a process improvement.
