Regional Development Grant Program (2012-2013)

New for 2012-2013: The Regional Development Grant Program will have three funding cycles. See preproposal deadlines below.

The goal of the program is to build capacity through collaborative projects and to provide a foundational resource for economic growth that the community could not have achieved without NCBIOTECH funding.

The program is open to a broad range of project ideas within targeted focus areas. Further information about the RDG program and focus areas can be found at www.ncbiotech.org/rdg.
