The Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) in Columbia has started a technology transfer program with funding for small businesses to commercialize U.S. government technologies. TEDCO’s Joint Technology Transfer Initiative (JTTI) will award $825,000 to 11 small businesses over two years.

Grants of up to $75,000 will go to companies with plans to bring to market technologies first developed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). Proposals for new research and development meeting the needs of the two agencies will also be considered.

JTTI will fund collaborative projects between a small business and DHS and/or USAMRMC. The Frederick County, Maryland Office of Economic Development will also provide business planning and development assistance to JTTI grant recipients.

The program will operate on an open submissions process with a 60-day review cycle. The proposal review process begins on the 15th of each month and will be reviewed by a review panel with representatives of the participating organizations.
