This $8.3 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration supports the Oklahoma Biotech Innovation Cluster led by the Oklahoma City Economic Development Foundation. The grant funds efforts to expand the biotechnology industry in the Oklahoma City region by bolstering domestic resiliency within the biopharmaceutical supply chain. Projects include a commercialization program, expansion of the region's clinical trials center, biotech startup support, and a bioprocessing core facility and workforce program to prepare the region for biomanufacturing at scale. The grant falls under the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307), which provides technical, planning, public works, infrastructure and other assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic changes. The University of Oklahoma Office of Research Services serves as the sub-awardee, supporting the grant's goals of developing and strengthening regional industry clusters while embracing economic equity and creating well-paying jobs.
