A10: Main DTC projects vary in duration and scale. Durations range from six months to some expected to last three years (subject to satisfactory progress). A typical cost for a one year project is around £100K. We also have 'Innovation Fund' projects which are short studies (typically 3 or 4 months for about £20K) designed to take a quick look at a promising area of work as a possible precursor to a main project.
