HUBAI FIT ANALYSIS
Where AI belongs in this opportunity.
AI-ready biological data, community software and interoperable research infrastructure can fit. Generic software platforms and resources primarily focused on clinical, healthcare or biomedical delivery are out of scope.
Do not lead with “we use AI”.Lead with the defined problem, measurable innovation and credible route to adoption. AI is part of the method, not the complete case.
ELIGIBILITY SNAPSHOT
Check the gate.
01The lead must be based at a BBSRC-eligible UK research organisation.
02The resource must serve a defined biological research community and meet the published scope.
03Generic software, primary data-generation projects and clinical or healthcare-focused resources are excluded.
PREPARATION PLAN
Build the evidence.
01Evidence the community need, users and resource gap.
02Design FAIR access, stewardship, software maintenance and AI-readiness.
03Show long-term governance, sustainability and value beyond one research project.
