The Wellcome Trust – Broadcast Development Awards (UK)

The Wellcome Trust's Broadcast Development Awards(BDA) support the 
development of broadcast proposals in any genre that engage the audience 
with issues around biomedical science in an innovative, entertaining and 
accessible way.

The Trust is interested in funding individuals and organisations with 
brilliant early-stage ideas for TV, radio, new media or gaming projects.

The funding will enable these ideas to be developed into high-impact, 
well-researched proposals that can be used to secure a broadcast 
platform and/or further funding.

Development funds might be used to undertake thorough research, create a 
taster tape, develop a script, or build a game prototype or mood reel.

The project should primarily be aimed at a mainstream UK and/or Republic 
of Ireland audience in the first instance, although the subject matter 
can be international. Broadcast Development Awards are up to £10 000, 
for a maximum of one year.

The next closing date for applications is the 17th April 2014.
