Florida High Tech Corridor Council

floridahightech.com

The Corridor can provide up to $150,000 in matching funds for applied research projects between local industry partners and university researchers. Corridor funds will match the industry partner’s cash and in-kind investment in university research (program details vary at participating universities). This program can be a valuable supplement to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funded projects that involve university collaborators. Funding is provided directly to the university research team and is used to expand the project’s scope of work and allow our students to participate in cutting-edge, applied research.
