Awards are intended to help fund initial personnel for a start-up company. The first phase of the grant is to write a Pre-Proposal. Full Grant Proposals will be by invitation only. The maximum amount awarded will be $5,000,000.Instructions for Pre-Proposal:Part I Due DiligenceThe first step in this process is to show due diligence.
