Medtech & Diagnostics grants
Medtech grants UK: funding for devices, diagnostics and digital health
Medtech grant applications need more than a promising prototype. We help device, diagnostic and digital health companies connect technical innovation with clinical evidence, an MHRA regulatory pathway and a credible NHS adoption plan. Our grant writers turn your bench data, clinical study or trial plans and regulatory strategy into costed work packages with measurable milestones. We match the proposal to Innovate UK, NIHR or Horizon Europe funding, based on your development stage and the evidence the call requires. Grant writing support does not replace advice from your regulatory adviser or clinical study team.

Programmes that fit medtech & diagnostics companies
Innovate UK CR&D competitions
Device and diagnostic R&D where the call supports your technology and development stage. Build the case around technical uncertainty, prototype validation, regulatory milestones and a commercial route to market.
NIHR i4i Programme
Translational funding for medical devices, diagnostics and digital health with a clear patient benefit. Explain the unmet clinical need, study design, clinical partnerships and route to NHS adoption, checking eligibility against the specific call.
EIT Health Innovation Uptake
European co-funding for health innovations moving from validation into adoption.
What assessors actually score
- An intended use and patient population linked to an unmet clinical need, supported by clinical users rather than market reports alone
- Bench and prototype data that supports feasibility, with measurable safety and performance targets
- A proportionate clinical evidence plan: study or trial design, endpoints, recruitment assumptions and named clinical partners where relevant
- An MHRA regulatory pathway that reflects the device or diagnostic classification, with applicable approvals, evidence requirements and realistic milestones agreed with your regulatory adviser
- Clear separation of technical, clinical and regulatory risks, with costed work packages and go/no-go decisions
- A credible NHS adoption case showing how the technology fits the care pathway and how patient benefit and value will be evaluated
