Support the Lab

Support that preserves research independence.

The Lab welcomes cash funding, cloud and compute credits, software, hardware, expertise and in-kind support — each recorded with its restrictions, reporting expectations and expiry as first-class records.

Kinds of support.

01
Cash / research funding

Direct funding towards research, delivery or participation support.

02
Cloud / API credits

Compute and model access for interventions and benchmarking.

03
Software licences

Tools relevant to intervention delivery or measurement.

04
Hardware / local compute

Local or hybrid infrastructure for privacy or cost-motivated deployments.

05
Technical expertise

Implementation capacity for assigned, documented interventions.

06
Research expertise

Methodological, statistical or domain input under governance.

07
SME access

Introductions and recruitment support through networks and channels.

08
Workspace & events

Space for workshops, dissemination and cohort activities.

09
Other in-kind support

Travel, communications and participant support where permitted.

What support does not buy.

Support does not confer influence over methodology, cohort selection, analysis or findings. Any budget figures in circulation are planning scenarios — internal, provisional and subject to host, funder, overhead and procurement rules — never published as secured funding.

The initiative is currently in its development and partnership-building phase. Scottish SMEs, researchers, universities and organisations interested in future collaboration can register their interest. Registering interest does not guarantee participation in a future pilot.
