These are Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) competitions funded by the Office for Life Sciences (OLS) and the Scottish Health Industry Partnership (SHIP).
These competitions form part of the UK Addiction Healthcare Mission and UK Life Sciences Vision and support the Scottish Government National Mission to reduce drug related deaths and harms.
OLS and SHIP are investing up to £5 million inclusive of VAT across the two competitions. Their purpose is to develop disruptive, innovative solutions that focus on detecting, responding to, and intervening in, early acute risk of non-fatal and fatal overdose.
