The Horticultural Quality and Food Loss Network wants to grow the research base

Top tips

  • Ensure your bid is within the network’s remit, which involves fundamental biology in an applied setting.
  • Half the funding is set aside for early career researchers and all bids should include professional development plans.
  • Proposals that are linked to industry or are interdisciplinary are welcome, but this is not a requirement.
  • The network can help with matchmaking for collaborators.

The Horticultural Quality and Food Loss Network was set up last year with three years’ worth of Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council funding.
