Department for Science, Innovation and Technology Grants
DSIT is the government department for science, innovation and technology, and its funding usually reaches organisations through a delivery body such as Innovate UK rather than directly. Its programmes tend to be large, time-limited and tied to a policy aim, from telecoms security to compute capacity. Eligibility is set per programme rather than by the department.
