2020-JAII-04 Collaborative Research Matching Grant Program Request for Grant Applications

The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative is offering matching grants to fund capital research and development (R&D) projects in the state. The Collaborative Research Matching Grant Program is expanding its focus to include a broad range of university and industry partners which can contribute to economic recovery in the near term. The program will fund collaborative projects at two levels: Level One awards represent larger priority projects generally targeted at $3-5 million awards, and Level Two awards will provide up to $1 Million for collaborative projects with outcomes in the near-term that contribute to a strategic approach to create or grow a target cluster or industry or that contribute to immediate economic recovery activities. • The program seeks to support collaborative projects that demonstrate potential to spur innovation, cluster development and job growth through industry partnerships in the Commonwealth. • Applications will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis and assessed on the technical merit and economic impact potential of each individual application. • The program will provide funding for capital expenditures, such as the acquisition of land and existing facilities, construction of new buildings, renovation of existing buildings, and purchase of equipment and technology research platforms. • The program requires a 1:1 match of state investment through the Match Grant Program. • The program has a rolling submission deadline, and applications will be accepted on a continuous basis.
