Funding for Applied Research in Clean/Alternative Energy-Related Fields to Be Awarded

Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern PA (BFTP/CNP) recently offered a matching grant to research institutions and other nonprofits engaged in research related to energy, alternative energy or clean technologies.

Three-page preliminary applications for the Translational Research in Energy Support Program (TRESP) were accepted until April 5. Full proposals are due on May 17, 2010.

Awards will be made on a competitive basis, depending on the funds available and the relative merits of the projects submitted for review. Applicants must be located in the 32 counties served by BFTP/CNP. The grants, which require a matching component, typically run between $25,000 and $100,000. In 2009, 28 applications were received and eight awards were made, totaling nearly $600,000.

The purpose of TRESP is to fund and assist commercially applied research that will impact production, consumption and conservation of energy in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Partnering with commercial or industrial entities is strongly encouraged.
