Agri-tech Adoption Programme - Post-application
What happens if my proposal is successful?
Successful projects will be contacted by email, within 5 working days of the monthly panel meetings.
You will be given 3 months from the grant approval date (not the date of application) to complete your project. Failure to deliver your project within this timescale could put your funding at risk, and it may be re-allocated to another project. If you believe your project will not complete during this timeframe, (e.g. due to seasonality, procurement/supply chain issues, product/service availability) please explain why in the relevant space on the Application Form. Flexibility may be given to certain projects.
Once evidence of project completion has been accepted by the grant team, the project will be forwarded to our payment system so that funding can be released.
The funds should then be released to the nominated bank account up to 5 working days after you get the automated email from our payment system, but they are usually much faster.
Successful applicants are expected to participate in public relations and communications activities directly related to the grant award.
What happens if my proposal is unsuccessful?
You will be contacted about the outcome of your application, even if you are not successful.
Unsuccessful applicants will be contacted by email. We are only able to provide a summary of why a project was unsuccessful; decisions are final, and there is no appeal process.
