The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) scheme helps businesses in the UK to innovate and grow. It does this by linking them with an academic or research organisation and a graduate. This enables a business to bring in new skills and the latest academic thinking to deliver a specific, strategic innovation project through a knowledge-based partnership. The scheme can last between 12 and 36 months, depending on what the project is and the needs of the business. A KTP is part-funded by a grant. Applicants will need to contribute to the salary of the Associate who will work with their business, plus the cost of a supervisor who will oversee the scheme. The amount that applicants will need to contribute depends on the scale and length of the project. It will also depend on the size of the company.

To be considered, projects must help set an agenda in the short or medium term, or have the potential to lead to policy or institutional change. They may draw on a range of research and development approaches.
