    CIT Announces Commonwealth Research Commercialization Fund (CRCF) Winter 2012 Request for Proposals

    PRWeb – Fri, Feb 3, 2012

    CRCF invites eligible applicants to apply for $2.2 million of remaining FY2012 CRCF funds.

    Herndon, VA (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

    The Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) announced today the Commonwealth Research Commercialization Fund (CRCF) Winter 2012 Request for Proposals (RFP). CRCF advances science- and technology-based research, development, and commercialization to drive economic growth in Virginia and strengthen partnerships between academia, business, and industry.

    This is the second of two solicitations for the FY2012 CRCF, and $2.2 million is available for award. Of this, $1 million is designated for the SBIR Matching Funds Program based on the FY2012 appropriation; the Commercialization, Eminent Researcher Recruitment, Facilities Enhancement Loan, and Matching Funds Programs will draw from $1.2 million. If program-specific funds are unspent at fiscal year-end, it is anticipated that monies will be reallocated to other programs.

    In FY2012, $6 million was appropriated for CRCF, with $2 million designated specifically for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) matching funds program for National Institutes of Health (NIH) Phase I award winners, and the remaining $4 million for four additional programs: commercialization, eminent researcher recruitment, facility enhancement loans, and matching funds. In December 2011, at the conclusion of the Fall 2011 Solicitation, 29 awards were made to 22 organizations across these five programs.
