This $499,929 Economic Development Administration Project Grant supports a multi-state coalition led by Northeastern University across Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The coalition aims to connect biomanufacturing hubs throughout New England to support the region's emerging biomanufacturing cluster. Services include supporting existing and new biomanufacturing infrastructure focused on monoclonal antibodies, cell/gene therapies, and RNA/DNA therapeutics. The coalition also plans workforce development interventions to provide entry points into the biotechnology sector for individuals without four-year degrees, to secure stable, high-quality biomanufacturing jobs. A $499,929 sub-award to the Foundation for a Strong Maine Economy (FocusMaine) further supports the EDA Build Back Better Regional Challenge's goal of developing the regional biomanufacturing cluster through this Economic Adjustment Assistance program funding awarded on December 15, 2021 for completion by December 14, 2023.
