Research Development & Innovation
As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, IRDG is committed to delivering for its members and has a proven record. Members engage with the IRDG team everyday for their experience in the R&D arena, and tap into this deep knowledge to help propel R&D effectively as a strategic stepping stone in growing their businesses.
IRDG provides advice across all aspects of R&D policy, funding and supports. In many cases members invite us to act as a sounding board or to provide specific project advice as part of their membership fee.*
The IRDG Team provides support on the following key areas:
- R&D Strategy Development and Planning
- Funding for Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) Projects
- Collaboration with academic institutions
- Advice on project preparation
- Review of project proposals
- Advice for overseas companies in dealing with the R&D system in Ireland
- Advice in validating projects for R&D Tax Credits
- Preparation of complete RD&I funding proposals*
*Time spent completing grant applications or similar such work that falls outside the membership fee is charged at €500 per day plus expenses.
