Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will invest up to £1 million in innovation projects.
The aim of this competition is to fund feasibility studies investigating technologies enabling needle free administration of medicines. These include the development of novel formulation approaches and manufacturing technologies for the dosage form applicable to therapeutics, including complex medicines and vaccines.

Your proposal must deliver the following benefits:
