Grant for Research & Development is a Department
for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) scheme, which replaced
the former DTI's 'Smart' scheme. It aims to help start-ups and SMEs
carry out research and development work on technologically innovative
products and processes.
Mark Shipley is an intellectual property and IT
