An International Graduate Research Institute in Asia
Challenge
Our client manages multiple translational funding awards provided by the Asian government. They require assistance on the management of their translational awards, to ensure that funding is awarded appropriately.
The Oracle's Solution
Oxford Oracle reviews applications to the graduate research institute's Proof of Concept (PoC) fund, commenting on the achievability of project goals. Fund applications are matched to a consultant from the respective field. A template review form is used so that all projects are judged equally, and there is a focus on whether adequate consideration has been given to how project outputs will be commercialised.
Consequential Impact
Oxford Oracle does not make any funding decisions, we provide the graduate research institute Proof of Concept (PoC) funding panel with our opinion and reasoning on which applications have the best chance of being commercially successful.
