OLS and SHIP are investing up to £5 million inclusive of VAT across the two competitions. Their purpose is to develop disruptive, innovative solutions that focus on detecting, responding to, and intervening in, early acute risk of non-fatal and fatal overdose.
This strand is for projects with technology already at an advanced stage of development, and near ready to be deployed in a real-world environment. The other strand is SBRI: Overdose detection, response and intervention feasibility.
