Application Details

Summary: 

All our projects go through a structured screening process where they are assessed on the following basis:

Social impact: What is the depth and breadth of the social impact? Who is impacted? We are looking for projects that have a profound impact both on a given individual's quality of life and on society as a whole.

Innovation: How disruptive is the innovation? We are looking for projects which are not just innovative locally, but could bring a radical new approach on a national scale. Are you aware of other innovations similar to yours? What are they doing and why is your approach better

Sustainability: What is the business model for the project? How do you propose to bring in other sources of funding (earned, sales, contract income) to make the project sustainable in the long term?

Scalability: How is the project replicable or scalable? How do you see the project developing over time? We are looking for projects that can be adapted or applied beyond an initial pilot site or location on a wider basis.

If you have an idea and want to apply for support please read the criteria information and then follow the submission guidelines below.

Projects should aim to establish a new venture / organisation that address some aspect of long term conditions. However our definition of long term conditions is intentionally broad; it extends to asthma, obesity, mental illness and chronic back pain. We anticipate that projects will emphasize patient-centred approaches, with a greater focus on prevention, continuity of care and non-medical support.

SUBMISSION

Please now follow the instructions to submit an idea/project to Health Launchpad. The form captures information in three main areas:

1. Contact details (your contact details)
2. Project details (short answers on how your idea/project addresses our key criteria)
3. Attachments (Up to five supporting documents/attachments related to your project)

Given our ideas based approach and staged funding cycle, ideas can be a very early stage (really just an idea with only a few sentences of description) or more developed (with an executive summary/business plan and other supporting documentation).
