Ohio Third Frontier is seeking proposals from companies that want to advance their products from ideas to the marketplace.
Until May 5, the technology development program will accept funding proposals for grants of up to $100,000 from its Technology Validation and Start-up Fund, the Ohio Department of Development said Friday.
The grant awards will be focused on commercializing technology and tech-enabled products in advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, biomedical and life sciences, energy, sensors, and software and information technology, the development department said.
Because biomedical technologies are a priority for Ohio and typically require greater resources, the state program would cap those grants at $150,000, the department said.
Responses to the request for proposals are due by 2 p.m. on Friday, May 5. Awards in this funding round are expected to be made in July, the department said.
Since 2012, Ohio Third Frontier has made 297 awards, totaling $44.8 million, from its tech validation and startup fund, the department said.
