CEO Roundtable: Introduction to the MIPS Program
Come hear about the Maryland Industrial Partnerships program
Tuesday, September 8, 2015 · 9 - 10:30 AM
The Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program provides funding, matched by participating companies, for university-based research projects that help the companies develop new products. The program is administered at the University of Maryland, College Park, and works throughout the 12 member institutions of the University System of Maryland, plus Morgan State University and St. Mary’s College.
With MIPS matching funds, companies can leverage the facilities, resources and expertise within Maryland’s public universities to create new products and opportunities. In the 27 years since the program started, 411 faculty researchers have worked with more than 541 Maryland companies to help develop new products. MIPS-supported products have enabled Maryland companies to directly create more than 6,600 new, high-paying, long-term, high-tech jobs throughout the state.
Ronnie Gist, MIPS Associate Director, will describe the program and the application process. The next deadline for MIPS applications is October 15, 2015.
