## Key dates

- Round 10 of the Full ADOPT grant
- Shared funding pot of up to £5 million across successful applications

## Tips for applicants

- Make sure the lead applicant qualifies as an established farming business, not a research institution or consultancy, since the lead role is restricted to farming businesses.
- Identify and confirm a collaborating UK-based farming business early, as the consortium requirement is mandatory for eligibility.
- Frame the project around demonstrating adoption of an existing new technology or practice on-farm rather than developing novel research, matching the 'adoption' focus of this call.
