Broadcast Development Awards aim to support the development of broadcast proposals in any genre that engages the audience with such issues around biomedical science in an innovative, entertaining and accessible way.
They are interested in funding individuals and organisations with brilliant early-stage ideas for TV, radio or new media projects. Our funding will enable these ideas to be developed into high impact, well-researched proposals to be utilised in securing a broadcast platform and/or further funding.
Please note that proposals that do not explore some element of biomedical science and/or its social implications will not be considered. They expect any scientific content to be rigorously researched, balanced
and expert-led.
Funding levels
Broadcast Development Awards are up to £10 000 for a maximum of one year.
