Seattle — Washington Technology Center is currently accepting proposals for the fall 2007 round of Research & Technology Development funding. Proposals from Washington businesses and researchers are due October 18. The Research & Technology Development program provides seed funding for projects with near-term potential for commercialization.

This funding can pay up to 80 percent of the cost of conducting the research. Project teams are eligible to receive up to $100,000 for initial proof-of-concept projects and up to $300,000 total for multi-phase projects. Since 1995, the Washington Technology Center has provided assistance in connecting companies with research experts and awarded more than 300 grants through the Research & Technology Development program.
