IGEM FY 2022 Funding
The IGEM – Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission – grant program funds commercialization research, where university researchers and business experts partner together to bring viable technologies to market.
The IGEM program is a powerful force in the growth of Idaho’s economy. Through its support of commercialization partnerships, IGEM invests in the development of new businesses and supports Idaho’s research facilities, creating new products, companies, and high-value jobs while increasing the research capacity of Idaho’s universities.
The IGEM grant program funds the costs associated with conducting research that is necessary for propelling your product or concept toward commercialization. Typical costs include research time, supplies, expert time (regulatory compliance guidance and expertise), and other costs that are vital to conducting the research. Please note, this is not an exhaustive list.
