 Do please give it a look - the forms are pretty straightforward.

Here's a bit more info:

A CX Knowledge Fund is available to fund research contributions by
SMEs and academics to projects. The fund supports the time of people
who contribute to the generation of new ideas, prototypes and
innovations. In the case of SMEs, it provides a small amount of
research funds to support the time of individuals within the company
who contribute to the research activity outside their day-to-day
business.

Eligible to apply are individuals in creative economy partners and
arts and humanities academics who participate in Hub cluster projects.

The CX Knowledge Fund provides:

 Up to £10,000 (average between £5,000 to 8,000) is available for
individuals within the creative economy companies to participate in
cluster projects.
 Funds for arts and humanities academics to participate in cluster projects.
 Funds for business support.

All best wishes
