MIP
CATN2 MIP logo

CATN2 Matching Investment Program

  • The purpose of the CATN2 Matching Investment Program (MIP) is to support collaborations between New York State businesses and SUNY Poly faculty that expand applied research capabilities, technology development resources, or operational deployment test beds.  The CATN2 MIP has been designed in alignment with the CATN2’s mission to support systematic progression in technology transitions, workforce development, and business growth for our partners seeking to collaborate and grow in the State.

​

  • MIP project proposal must clearly describe how the MIP funds will be used and explain how the investment under the MIP will expand or enhance on-site infrastructure and capabilities that will: 

- Identify a distinct technology focus area, commercialization phase (RD&D), market application, and resulting capability by

- Create a sustainable operating model, such as

- Expand upon prior investments in core facility capabilities

- Potential opportunity to launch a focused campaign to address an unmet need or challenge confronted by industry with potential for broad industry participation.

​

  • MIP projects require a minimum 2:1 private-to- public match.  Private funds can include investments from industry, government, or a not-for-profit entity, and public funds may include CATN2 MIP funding and other NYS funding commitments (e.g. NYSTAR Tech Transfer grant, NYSERDA grants, etc.).

​

  • A letter(s) of intent to collaborate and commit matching investment by the private entity partner(s) consisting of:

- Cash investment;

- Equipment and infrastructure;

- Operational support; or

- Cash-equivalent (intellectual property, co-location, shared access), among others.
