Department of Commerce’s (DOC) Economic Development Administration (EDA);The DOC’s National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP);The U. S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO); The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA); and,The Small Business Administration (SBA).

This collaboration allows applicants to submit one application to leverage multiple complementary Federal funding sources to comprehensively promote advanced manufacturing activities and support cluster development.

In addition, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is making funds available for existing Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grantees (Phase II only) that are part of or central to awarded projects.
