INNOVATION AND WEALTH CREATION ACCELERATOR FUND 2013/14
The Wessex AHSN is keen to make an impact on health and wealth in this financial year and has been rapidly putting into place our programmes. However, because we do not yet have the full team in place Delivery Board has taken the opportunity to establish an Innovation and Wealth Creation Accelerator fund for 2013/14 amounting to circa £300,000 in the first instance.
Bids to access this fund should be made on the attached Summary Business Case Proposal form. In order to be successful the WAHSN expect the bid to align to AHSN priorities and objectives and make substantial progress by the 31 March 2014 through delivering health and wealth gains and/or demonstrating significant platform building for future gains. Projects already underway can be included where it can be shown that additional funds could deliver rapid additional gains.
There are a number of criteria set out on the proposal form which the bids will be assessed against but clearly not all criteria are expected to be achieved for each submission. Proposals backed by more than one organisation will be favoured – particularly collaboration across providers and commissioners.
Individual schemes can be awarded up to £100,000 but we expect the majority to be awarded up to £30,000.
Deadline for submission: 16th December 2013
Funding awarded: 20th December 2013
Scheme start date: 4th January 2014
We recognise the deadline for submissions is relatively short but wish to maximise the timescale for achievement in the remainder of 2013/14.
