About Research Targets

1. What Research Targets Does

Research Targets is a UK R&D company directory and lead-generation database. It helps outbound sales teams, recruiters, and grant consultants find and contact the 19,000+ UK companies that have won Innovate UK research and development grants.

Every company in the directory is tied to a real government funding record, so the data is grounded in public administrative sources rather than scraped guesses.

2. Where the Data Comes From

The core of our database is built from publicly available UK government data:

• UKRI Gateway to Research: Innovate UK grant awards, competition titles, award amounts, and project status.
• Companies House: Registered company details used to confirm legal identity and location.
• Open Government Licence v3.0: Public sector information is used and republished in line with the OGL v3.0 terms.

We index this information by region, industrial sector, and grant year so it can be searched quickly by the people who need it.

3. How We Verify and Enrich

Funding metadata is matched to corporate contact records for directors and professional email addresses. Records are scored for delivery confidence so teams can prioritise the most reliable outreach targets.

We keep the directory current by refreshing it against updated funding and corporate records on an ongoing basis.

4. Compliance

Corporate B2B outreach to UK company directors and decision-makers is carried out under the legitimate-interests basis of UK GDPR and the PECR. Directors and representatives of funded companies can request removal or correction of their professional contact details at any time.

5. Who Operates Research Targets

Research Targets is operated by SCS Ventures, LLC, doing business as Research Targets, and registered in Delaware, USA. We work with public UK data and are not affiliated with Innovate UK or UKRI.
