The Appalachian Regional Commission awarded a $100,000.00 Project Grant to the University Industry Demonstration Partnership, Inc. (UIDP) on February 1, 2025. The grant is funded through the Appalachian Research, Technical Assistance, and Demonstration Projects program (CFDA 23.011), which supports research, technical assistance, and demonstration projects aimed at expanding knowledge and strategic development across the Appalachian region.

The funding will allow UIDP, a non-profit organization focused on facilitating cross-sector research and innovation partnerships, to deliver a range of products and services. This may include convening workshops, conferences, and collaborative initiatives that bring together stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and non-profit sectors to address complex technological and research challenges, as well as supporting workforce development and other regional priorities. The project is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2025.
