Ohio Third Frontier Accepting Grants for Innovation in Advanced Materials and Sensors

The Ohio Third Frontier (OTF) has announced RFPs in two of its key domain programs:  advanced materials and sensors.  The FY2010 OTF Advanced Materials Program anticipates awarding up to $10 million in support of R&D that addresses the technical and cost barriers to commercialization of advanced materials products particularly in polymer and carbon nano-materials, liquid crystals, and bio-based materials.  Letters of Intent are due November 4, 2009 with full proposals due December 7, 2009.

The FY2010 OTF Sensors Program is slated to award up to $10 million in support of R&D to support the commercialzation of sensors
components and systems for key Ohio industries.  Again, letters of intent are due November 4 and full proposals are due Decemer 7.  

There will be a single bidders’ conference for both programs held October 22, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. at TechColumbus.
