Some frequently asked questions about the voucher scheme are below. If you have any questions not covered below please contact us.
How many projects can you support in each round?

Historically, we have averaged 15-20 awards in each round, although this depends on application numbers, voucher size and available budget.

What is the success rate?

On average, we are able to award vouchers to ~40-60% of applications.

How frequent are the calls?

Calls for vouchers are held every six months, and are planned to close near the end of each April and October

Why does the Provider get the funds and not the Applicant?

TIA has existing working and contractual relationships with Providers, meaning that we can transfer funds quickly without waiting for a legal agreement between Applicants, Providers and TIA. For this reason, we do not seek agreements between Applicants and TIA, but rely on agreements between Applicants and Providers.

How can I join this scheme as a Provider?

Adding a Provider to the scheme is a strategic decision, as funding is limited. TIA Providers must have a strong customer service ethic, a clear and straight forward access model, demonstrated demand for services and some capacity to accommodate users from outside your host institution. Please contact us to discuss if your facility could be included in future schemes.

Is there anywhere I can get advice about which Provider may best be able to assist me?

That is what we are here for. Please contact TIA directly and we will be happy to advise you which of our Providers may be able to assist you.
