Launch Tennessee announced yesterday that it is now accepting applications for the state-funded matching program for recipients of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants.

FY20 funding has been increased to $3 million, thanks to a recommendation by the Lee Administration and action by the Tennessee General Assembly. The dollars flow through the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

The first FY20 application period closes at 6 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. CDT August 15.
