To learn more about this opportunity please consider attending a pre-application conference:
Applicants only need to submit one application per project to apply for grant funding, and they may submit applications for multiple projects. Commerce will evaluate each application across all potential programs and match projects to the relevant funding source(s).
No match is required for this program; however, projects that document match or leveraged funding from other sources will be prioritized.
