The Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program accelerates the commercialization of technology in Maryland by providing matching funds for collaborative R&D projects between companies and University System of Maryland faculty. With more than 600 Maryland companies participating in project awards since 1987, worth over $180 million, MIPS-supported products have generated more than $48 billion in sales. MIPS matching grants are awarded on a competitive basis for projects based on proposals submitted jointly by Maryland companies and researchers from any of the thirteen University System institutions. The maximum MIPS award for any single project is $100,000 per year for large and small companies and $90,000 for start-up firms.
