Funding for Regional Innovation: Debriefing and Opportunities

Did your organization apply for the first round of EDA Regional Innovation Strategies (RIS) program awards? Are you interested in applying in the future? Have questions about the selection process or how to prepare a successful application? Want to learn about other funding opportunities for regional initiatives?

On May 28, 2015 representatives from EDA's Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship participated in an SSTI-sponsored webinar to provide some insight into each of the three RIS competitions, present trends in received applications and provide general guidance on ways to build a competitive proposal. Representatives from JPMorgan Chase also participated to provide information on another funding opportunity for regional initiatives, Small Business Forward.

The full, hour-long webinar is available for viewing at: http://cc.readytalk.com/play?id=1f8b7s
