About this program
The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration has not awarded grants under the Science and Research Park Development Grants program (CFDA 11.030) since June 2015, more than eleven years ago. No recent grant opportunities under this program have been posted; the most recent solicitation dates to September 2014.
The program funds planning, feasibility studies, construction, and rehabilitation of science and research park infrastructure and facilities designed to generate or retain jobs, attract private sector investment, and support regional innovation and entrepreneurship. Recent awards funded activities including master planning for plant science, autonomous vehicle development, and digital media campuses; feasibility and marketing studies for biotechnology and health-tech research parks; and space expansion and renovation at existing university research parks. All twelve awards in the portfolio are Project Grants, with individual award amounts ranging from approximately $248 thousand to $1 million.
The Economic Development Administration supplied all $4.7 million in federal dollars obligated across the twelve awards. Non-federal cost-share contributions added $900 thousand, bringing total project obligations to $5.6 million. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, nonprofits, higher education institutions, tribes, hospitals, commercial organizations, and public-private partnerships, as well as consortia of these entity types.
The program's funding history is sparse and inactive. All twelve awards in the portfolio were obligated on a single date in June 2015, with completion dates ranging through early 2018. Multiple awards carried deobligations or no-cost extensions, indicating administrative adjustments rather than new funding commitments. The 2014 solicitation (EDA-HDQ-OIE-2014-2004219) positioned the program as part of a broader Regional Innovation Strategies initiative spanning i6 Challenge, Science and Research Park Development Grants, and Cluster Grants for Seed Capital Funds, but no subsequent solicitations have been posted in the source record.
Prospective applicants should verify current program status directly with the Economic Development Administration before investing in proposal development, given the eleven-year gap between the most recent awards and today.
