The U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of International Trade awarded a $150,000 Project Grant under the State Trade Expansion Program (CFDA 59.061) to Bryant University. The grant, which runs from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026, will fund initiatives to increase the number of small businesses exporting from Rhode Island and expand the dollar value of exports for those small businesses. Specific activities under the grant include export training, technical assistance, international trade connections, and facilitation of export opportunities for eligible small businesses in the state. This award builds on Bryant University's previous funding from the STEP program, totaling over $1 million since 2019, demonstrating the university's ongoing role in supporting small business export activities in Rhode Island.
