Manufacturing Innovation PA Program Requesting Proposals

Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania are pleased to announce the release of the Manufacturing PA Innovation Program Request for Proposals. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) is now soliciting proposals from researcher-led teams at any accredited PA college/university engaged in a research project that seeks to advance a new product or process innovation with a PA manufacturer. In this cycle, nearly $1.9 million may be made available for research projects. Award levels for individual projects can range from $25,000 to $70,000.

The Manufacturing PA Innovation Program’s goal is to leverage the internationally-acclaimed science and engineering talent and discovery capacity of all Pennsylvania’s institutions of higher education to help ensure that Pennsylvania remains a national and international leader in manufacturing and achieves the full economic potential for well-paying manufacturing jobs.

Applications are due by November 18, 2021 at 5:00 pm. Please consult the manufacturingPA.org website for more information and to submit a proposal.

Also, any PA manufacturer that is interested in partnering with a university/college on a project, but has not identified a faculty collaborator, may complete an inquiry form on the Manufacturing PA website. Company information will be circulated to PA universities/colleges associated with the program and the names of interested faculty will be provided to the company for follow-up.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
