MIPS August Webinar

​Free webinar for Maryland companies and University System of Maryland researchers.

​The Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program offers matching grants for projects that team Maryland-based companies with University System of Maryland faculty to develop technology products and processes. Join us to learn how MIPS funding works and how to put it to work for you.

​If you're a Maryland company, you'll learn how to:

• ​Fund collaborative R&D with non-dilutive, non-debt matching grants.

• ​Access world-class faculty, students, labs, and equipment matched to your specific technical needs.

• ​Work directly with talented students, your potential future hires.

• ​Get a fast answer: MIPS notifies award winners within 60 days of the proposal deadline.

​If you're a USM researcher, you'll learn how a MIPS project can:

• ​Translate your research directly into new products.

• ​Augment your research program with MIPS matching grants, with potential for published papers and improved facilities.

• ​Give your students hands-on experience with commercial technologies.

• ​Open the door to industry partnerships.

​We'll cover:

​How the program works, how companies and faculty get matched, what makes a strong joint proposal, and what to expect from the application process. We'll close with live Q&A.

​The next proposal deadline is October 15, 2026.
