			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Fund 101 Launched</h1>
<p>Website <a title="fund101" href="http://www.enterprisenation.com/fund101/" target="_blank">Here</a></p>
<p>If you have an idea for a business and need a bit of cash to get started or you’re running a small business and need up to £500 to buy equipment, promotion flyers, hardware etc, you can apply.</p>
<p>Apply for between £50 and £5000 and once you receive the money, the only thing we ask is you agree to be profiled on the site so we can see how you’re getting on. The money doesn’t have to be paid back; it’s for you to use on your idea or business.</p>
<p>Apply via clicking the button below and outline how much money you need and for what purpose. Make a good case for your idea and then encourage as many people as possible to vote for you. The number of votes required is equal to the amount of funding you’re looking for so to obtain £500 you’ll need to secure 500 virtual votes.</p>
<p>Remember, the Enterprise Nation community will help you spend the dosh! Want to use it to buy a camera to take good pictures of your products? Ask peers about the best deal on the market. Want to spend the money on a Google Adwords campaign but not sure where to start? Watch our video clips that will show you how!</p>
<p>All the support you need is right here so you can access the money you need and keep coming back to pick up tips, access content and pose questions in our friendly forums.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>TSB Annoucnes Grant for R&amp;D</h1>
<p>Full Text <a title="TSB Funding" href="http://www.innovateuk.org/deliveringinnovation/grant-for-research-and-development.ashx" target="_blank">Here </a></p>
<p><strong>A new Technology Strategy Board scheme is offering funding to  small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in R&amp;D projects  in the strategically important areas of science, engineering and  technology, from which successful new products, processes and services  could emerge. </strong></p>
<p>Open from 4 April 2011, the Grant for Research and Development (Grant  for R&amp;D) scheme will support R&amp;D projects which offer  potentially significant rewards and could stimulate UK economic growth.  In contrast to the Collaborative R&amp;D programme, Grant for R&amp;D funding is available to single companies.</p>
<p>Three types of grant are available:</p>
<ul>
<li>Proof of market <em> </em></li>
<li>Proof of concept <em> </em></li>
<li>Development of prototype</li>
</ul>
<p>Any UK SME working in any sector may apply; applications are accepted on a rolling basis for assessment by independent experts.</p>
<p>Grant for R&amp;D replaces the scheme previously offered by regional  development agencies. The new scheme will work alongside existing  programmes in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>£100m New Money Announced for Science</h1>
<p>Full Text <a title="bbc" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12838102" target="_blank">Report </a></p>
<p>BBC has published an article on this extra cash for science</p>
<p>The bulk of the funds (£80m), which come from the bank levy, will be  invested in new research centres at Daresbury, Norwich and Cambridge, he  said.</p>
<p>The smaller proportion (£20m) would go to projects at Harwell.</p>
<p>These include investments in new space technologies, and in three new instruments at the Isis neutron source.</p>
<p>Isis is a giant machine that can probe the structure of  matter. Scientists exploit its insights to advance a host of new  technologies from drug design to improved mobile phones.</p>
<p>Also included in the budget was a promise to address  regulatory issues that are deemed to impede science-based industries  from maximising their performance.</p>
<p>In the life sciences, Mr Osborne announced a new health  research regulatory agency that would aim to simplify and speed up the  business of running the clinical trials which are essential to the  development of new drugs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>BUPA Foundation Strategy &#8211; Fund</h1>
<p>Full Text <a title="BUPA" href="http://www.bupafoundation.co.uk/asp/about/strategy.asp " target="_blank">Here</a></p>
<h2>The Bupa Foundation is an independent medical research charity</h2>
<h2>AIMS</h2>
<p>The charitable objects (intentions) expressed above are interpreted in the aims to fund:</p>
<ol>
<li>Implementation of translational and action orientated research-based solutions, which: :
<ul>
<li>Drive tangible action to prevent or alleviate chronic disease or  the adverse elements of ageing; and to promote wellbeing and/or</li>
<li>Lead to the sustained uptake of  healthy lifestyles and/or</li>
<li>Measurably improve public health to a significant degree</li>
</ul>
</li>
<p>AND/OR</p>
<li>Research which leads to the development of such solutions.</li>
</ol>
<h2>OBJECTIVES</h2>
<p>The Foundation&#8217;s objectives are:<br />
To offer grants to implement research-based solutions, in any of the  following areas, which reflect global challenges in public health:</p>
<ol>
<li>Enabling sustained behaviour changes in physical activity and/or  nutrition amongst children, families or in the workplace or educational  establishments;</li>
<li>Utilising or developing shared-decision making tools for better  patient decisions for use amongst disadvantaged or diverse groups;</li>
<li>Promoting and encouraging healthy ageing through physical activity  and other behaviour-based and social solutions for the older age group  (65+ years);</li>
<li>Using new technologies to organise and interpret health outcomes  data cheaply and effectively &#8211; for better design of community health  activities and to improve patient decision making.</li>
</ol>
<p>All projects should develop, apply or test research-based approaches  in community settings &#8211; with clear intended impacts on public health.</p>
<p>The Bupa Foundation supports high quality medical research through its four programmes:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Programme 1: Research grants (all four objectives above)</strong></span></p>
<p>In 2011 the first round under the new funding strategy will be held  in June 2011.  The closing date for this round is 31 March 2011. <strong>This may change in future years.</strong></p>
<p>All projects funded under this heading should develop, apply or test  research-based approaches in community settings &#8211; with clear intended  impacts on public health.</p>
<p>The areas for funding as detailed above are not intended to be exclusive of each other.</p>
<p>Research grant applications are open only to clinicians, researchers  and health care professionals who are UK residents. Applicants are  encouraged to include on their application partnerships with other  universities, healthcare organisations, research institutes, charities  and community groups</p>
<p>The Foundation will normally consider applications for funding to a  maximum of £100,000 per annum for up to three years term.  Successful  applications are more likely if added value (such as potential for  co-funding) is clearly demonstrated.</p>
<p>If funding is required for a longer period a separate application  must be made in the third year. Continuing support cannot be guaranteed;  any application for further funding will be considered in open  competition with other applications submitted on that occasion.</p>

<p><strong>Colleagues &#8211; I thought this may be of interest to you?</strong></p>
<p><strong>AngelNews, an online news service for entrepreneurs and investors is inviting you to pitch at its launch events of Pitching for Management in Leeds and Sheffield at NO CHARGE.</strong></p>
<p>These events allow entrepreneurial people like you to pitch to rooms full of senior executives to join your teams in exchange for sweat equity, commission and/or salary.  Pitching for Management has been running in London since January 2009 and has started rolling out throughout the UK.</p>
<p>Typically audience members have worked with fast-growth companies in the past and have a wealth of experience in roles ranging from sales, marketing and finance directors, to mentors, non-executives directors and CEO’s.</p>
<p>So if you need a sales director who will help you build revenue, an FD who will look after the money side of things or even a chairman or NED who will help you fulfill its overall potential, you can come and pitch for them for free.  (Whatever your stage of business)</p>
<p>Pitching for Management offers great exposure to a high-calibre audience and hopefully you will find that perfect person you’ve been looking for.</p>
<p>If this sounds of interest to you, call Michelle Williams of AngelNews on 01761 452248 or email <a href="mailto:michelle@angelnews.co.uk">michelle@angelnews.co.uk</a>.   She will be happy to talk through the concept with you.</p>
<p>Pitching for Management is taking place in Leeds on 31<sup>st</sup> March and Sheffield on 12<sup>th</sup> April.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Deputy PM Announces New Round of the Regional Growth Fund</h1>
<p>Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has announced that a second bidding round of the Regional Growth Fund will open on 12 April 2011.</p>
<p>The Government announced in the <em>2010 Budget</em>, that it would commit itself to create a Regional Growth Fund (RGF). Launched as part of the publication of the Coalition Government’s <em>Local Growth: Realising Every Place’s Potential</em> White Paper, the Fund completed its first round earlier this year.</p>
<p>The RGF is a discretionary £1.4 billion Fund that will operate for three years between 2011 and 2014 to achieve its two main objectives of:</p>
<ul>
<li>stimulating enterprise by providing support for      projects and programmes with significant potential for creating long-term      private sector led economic growth and employment; and</li>
<li>helping those areas and communities that are currently      dependent on the public sector make the transition to sustainable private      sector-led growth and prosperity.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Fund subsequently encourages private sector enterprise, including social enterprise, to create opportunities for people and places to adjust to reductions in public spending, and enable private sector investors, business, the public sector and communities to come together with an overall strategy for their area.</p>
<p>Bids for funding from private bodies and public-private partnerships across England on a challenge basis are welcomed; however, the minimum amount of grant that can be applied for is £1 million.</p>
<p>Ministers are currently considering increasing the amount of funding available in the first round of bidding to the Regional Growth Fund as the Government prepares to announce which projects will benefit.</p>
<p>Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg made the announcement of the second round during a summit for local enterprise partnerships in Coventry. He said the successful first round bids to the Fund would be made public &#8220;shortly&#8221; and that the number of high quality bids received had led the Government to consider whether to increase the share of the £1.4 billion overall Fund available in the initial round.</p>
<p><strong>Round two will open to applications on 12 April 2011.</strong></p>
<p>Further details of the Fund are available online at the <a href="http://www.bis.gov.uk/policies/economic-development/regional-growth-fund" target="_blank">BIS</a> website (opens in new window).</p>

<p>The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of grant funds for the support of FDA&#8217;s Office of Orphan Products Development (OPD) grant program. The goal of FDA&#8217;s OPD grant  program is to support the clinical development of products for use in rare diseases or conditions where no current therapy exists or where the proposed product will be superior to the existing therapy. FDA  provides grants for clinical studies on safety and/or effectiveness that will either result in, or substantially contribute to, market approval of these products. Applicants must include in the  application&#8217;s Background and Significance section documentation to support the estimated prevalence of the orphan disease or condition (or in the case of a vaccine or diagnostic, information to support the  estimates of how many people will be administered the diagnostic or vaccine annually) and an explanation of how the proposed study will either help support product approval or provide essential data needed<br />
for product development.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Michael J. Fox Foundation Commits up to US$12 Million for Targeted Parkinson&#8217;s Therapeutic Development in 2011</h1>
<p>Full Text <a title="PR Newswire" href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/michael-j-fox-foundation-commits-up-to-12-million-for-targeted-parkinsons-therapeutic-development-in-2011-98521939.html">Here</a></p>
<p>Funding is open to academic and industry researchers through the Foundation&#8217;s <strong>Pipeline Programs</strong>, which consist of three annually recurring initiatives, known collectively as <em>The Edmond J. Safra Core Programs for PD Research,</em> as well as the industry-exclusive <em>Therapeutics Development Initiative</em>.  The Foundation seeks investigator-initiated proposals focused on the  following critical points along the translational pathway to new  therapies for Parkinson&#8217;s disease:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><strong>Testing Novel Hypotheses:</strong> Quick support for high-risk, high-reward projects with little to no  existing preliminary data, but potential to significantly impact our  understanding or treatment of PD.</li>
<li><strong>Validating Novel Targets:</strong> Support for work demonstrating whether modulation of a novel biological  target has impact in a PD-relevant pre-clinical model — an essential  step to the development of potential targeted therapies.</li>
<li><strong>Catalyzing and Expanding Preclinical Development:</strong> Industry-exclusive support for preclinical development of Parkinson&#8217;s  disease therapies with potential to fundamentally alter disease course  and/or improve treatment of symptoms above and beyond current standards  of care.</li>
<li><strong>Clinically Testing Novel Therapies:</strong> Support for clinical testing of promising PD therapies that may significantly and fundamentally improve treatment of PD.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;The  Pipeline Programs are a core element of our Foundation&#8217;s efforts to  drive research that will speed therapeutic development at historically  under-funded points on the pipeline,&#8221; said Todd Sherer,  the Foundation&#8217;s acting CEO. &#8220;The programs are part of MJFF&#8217;s  progressive work to keep the most promising and significant projects  moving forward toward notably improving quality of life for patients now  and in the future.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Market Report on Life Sciences and Healthcare Sector Forecasts</h1>
<p>Published by Rodman and Renshaw and EpstineBeckerGreen full Text <a title="Market Report" href="http://www.mergermarket.com/pdf/LifeSciences_2010.pdf" target="_blank">Here</a></p>
<p>Based on interviews with over 75 healthcare investors in the US, this report offers valuable insight into emerging trends in investment activity, as well as a detailed forecast for specific subsectors, including biotechnology and pharmaceuticals; medical devices; healthcare providers and payors; and healthcare services.</p>
<p>Respondents to this survey unanimously agree that healthcare M&amp;A activity will either increase or remain at its current level over the next 12 months. The biotechnology and pharmaceuticals subsector and the healthcare services subsector are particularly likely to witness a significant increase in M&amp;A during this time, according to 87% and 83% of respondents, respectively.</p>
<p>Investment patterns are likely to vary according to industry over the next 12 months. Strategic buyers are likely to be most active in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals subsector, following on a recent wave of large-cap deals including the US$68bn Pfizer-Wyeth merger and the US$44bn Roche-Genentech merger. Financial buyers, on the other hand, are likely to focus their attention on the healthcare services space, where recent private equity buyouts include TPG Capital’s US$5.3bn acquisition of IMS Health.</p>
