Innovative bovine TB diagnostics programme

The UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) have launched a new tender to fund Innovative Bovine TB Diagnostics Research Projects.

The programme will fund novel one-year proof of concept research which aims to improve the suite of diagnostic tools available to bovine TB stakeholders. Our application process targets at a wide range of researchers, so not to restrict the proposed diagnostic outcomes. We hope to see proposals ranging from technological solutions and diagnostic tools to multimedia applications.

The window for applications has been extended and will close at 12.00 on 2 April 2020.

You can find out more about the process at the Defra eTendering Portal, clicking on Current Opportunities and selecting 'Innovative TB Diagnostics Research Project'.
