The Innovation Voucher program lets businesses unlock R&D capacity here in Rhode Island. Rhode Island enterprises with fewer than 500 employees can receive grants of up to $50,000 to fund R&D assistance from a Rhode Island university, research center or medical center.

The initial application deadline is January 5, 2016. The Commerce Corporation will begin reviewing and advancing applications upon receipt. Applications submitted after January 5, 2016 may not be reviewed until the Commerce Corporation has completed its consideration of the applications submitted by that deadline.
