Tucson, Arizona, April 30, 2018
AURP is proud to support the Regional Innovation Program in 2019! Below are two letters written to the House and Senate supporting efforts to increase the funding for the Regional Innovation Program to $50 Million in 2019.
Letter to the House of Representatives Letter to the Senate Regional Innovation Program Awarded $21 Million On Friday, March 23rd, President Trump signed into law a $1.3 billion federal funding bill, which will fund the government through the end of September 2018 (when Fiscal Year 2018 ends). The Association of University Research Parks is very pleased to announce that in this bi-partisan funding bill was a major increase in the Commerce Department’s Regional Innovation (RI) Program. The RI Program will be funded at $21 million in 2018, a $4 million dollar increase over 2017 level. This is the largest increase in 2 years for the RI Program, and the highest funding appropriation in the program’s history.
Commerce’s RI Program—administered by the Economic Development Administration (EDA)—is an initiative that supports innovation-driving activities through state, regional and local entities to utilize existing resources, collaboration and continued support of economic recovery. These efforts are focused in high-growth industries by supporting local organizations to drive the transition of research out of labs and into the commercial marketplace. Applicants for the 1:1 matchedRI Programawards have included nonprofits, institutions of higher education, and entrepreneurship-focused organizations.
This increase in the RI Program is due in large part by federal advocacy efforts of AURP membership. On February 27th, several of our AURP members joined the Innovation Advocacy Council (IAC), of which AURP is a member, for a day of meetings with legislators on Capitol Hill. They lobbied dozens of members of Congress in support of a funding increase for the RI Program. This effort was also bolstered by many AURP members writing their respective members of Congress requesting they champion the RI Program.
The FY19 appropriations process is now currently underway. AURP membership looks forward to taking action in support the RI Program in 2019, including participating in the IAC’s ongoing congressional engagement for another appropriations increase in 2019.
Tucson, Arizona, March 12, 2018 – Association of University Research Parks (AURP) members and staff, in conjunction with State Science and Technology Institute (SSTI), met with U.S. Congressional members and delegates to demonstrate the association’s support of, and to request additional funding for, the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) Regional Innovation Program and an upcoming bill known as the Startup Act (S. 1877). The EDA’s Regional Innovation Program is an initiative that supports innovation-driving activities through state, regional and local entities to utilize existing resources, collaboration and continued support of economic recovery. These efforts are focused in high-growth industries by supporting local organizations to drive the transition of research out of labs and into the commercial marketplace through the vast experience and knowledge of entrepreneurs and a startup culture with proven success.
