Grants to explore innovative ways of applying Regulators' Code
拢250,000 available for growth-supporting initiatives
The Better Regulation Delivery Office is offering financial support to pathfinder projects to explore innovative ways of applying the Regulators鈥� Code and encouraging collaboration between regulators and business.
Projects are normally short-term, collaborative and experimental in nature, and the overall aim is to identify growth-supporting initiatives that are productive, sustainable, and suitable for wider roll-out.
Provided under the Regulatory Innovation for Growth programme, grants will be awarded for projects that fit one of six categories:
鈥upporting business and economic growth
鈥ngaging with the business community
鈥eveloping risk-based approaches to business support and interventions
鈥haring information about compliance and risk
鈥roviding information, guidance and advice
鈥romoting transparency in regulatory activities
Organisations with a direct role in regulating businesses or supporting the development of good practice within the regulatory community are eligible to apply.
BRDO will award up to 拢250,000 in a financial year, although individual grants will not normally exceed 拢20,000. Further details and the application form for grants in 2014-2015 are available on this site, together with helpful resources.
Applicants must submit their forms to BRDO at [email protected] by 17.00 on Thursday, 20 March 2014. No supporting documentation is required but BRDO may request further information during the selection process.
