Funding for DSbD software ecosystem development

UK registered organisations can apply for a share of up to £8 million for projects to work on the development of the DSbD software ecosystem

Innovate UK and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, both part of UK Research and Innovation, are investing up to £8 million from the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund into the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) research and development projects.

The aim of this competition is to fund a range of projects that work to enrich and expand the DSbD software ecosystem prior to the availability of commercial hardware.

Projects will leverage the DSbD Technology Hardware Prototype, also known as Morello Board, to work on a focused area within a selected and specified software stack or an Operating System (OS) or a developer toolchain used by a digital system.

To be eligible to apply, your project must focus on either of the following:

• enriching the evolving Morello Stacks
• expanding overall support and make available additional DSbD enabled software stacks, toolchains and components

The funders expect to fund a range of industrial research projects requesting grant from £200,000 to £1.4 million.

The deadline for applications is 8 December 2021 at 11:00am.
