    Brief

    This funding opportunity supports one-year research projects aimed at developing an open-source hardware security research platform to strengthen the UK's ability to design, test, and validate secure hardware systems. The programme will fund research that generates findings and outputs to guide the design of an initial platform before its first tape-out (manufacturing stage). Eligible researchers and organizations can apply for individual awards up to £240,000, with a total fund of £2,500,000 available across all awards. This is a pre-announcement with full details to follow.
