The UK Space Agency invites proposals for UK-based research and development projects that will deliver innovative space technologies, applications and services through the National Space Innovation Programme (NSIP). NSIP provides co-funded grant support to de-risk high-reward projects with a clear target market.  

NSIP operates open funding calls under two schemes, NSIP Kick Starter and NSIP Major Projects, which combined provide end-to-end support for innovation from concept to commercialisation. 

Applicants may apply for the following funding and project durations: 

Kick Starter 

Kick Starter proposals may request grant funding between £150,000 and £1,000,000 with a maximum duration of 16 months. Kick Starter projects are roughly defined as early stage (TRL 1-4) with an emphasis on highly disruptive or novel proposals. 

Major Projects 

Major Projects proposals may request grant funding between £150,000 and £2,000,000 with a maximum duration of 16 months. Major Projects should achieve high TRLs (5-9) with an emphasis on commercialisation and catalysing investment.
