Upcoming Deadline for MIPS Research Grants
The Maryland Industrial Partnerships Program (MIPS) provides funding, matched by participating companies, for university-based research projects that help the companies develop new products. The program is administered at the flagship campus at the University of Maryland, College Park, and works throughout the 12 member institutions of the University System of Maryland, plus Morgan State University and St. Mary’s College. In these academic-industrial, public-private partnerships, MIPS connects the resources of the Maryland public universities to businesses from all parts of Maryland.
With MIPS matching funds, companies can leverage the facilities, resources and expertise within Maryland’s public universities to create new products and opportunities. In the 27 years since the program started, 411 faculty researchers have worked with more than 541 Maryland companies to help develop new products. MIPS-supported products have enabled Maryland companies to directly create more than 6,600 new, high-paying, long-term, high-tech jobs throughout the state.
The next proposal deadline is October 14th. To learn more about the application process and speak to a faculty member, visit mips.umd.edu.
