Resources and Support
Intellectual Property Assistance
Maryland Intellectual Property Legal Resource Center
The Maryland Intellectual Property Legal Resource Center (MIPLRC), which offers free legal services on intellectual property and related matters to entrepreneurs and emerging technology companies and explores relevant legal, ethical and policy issues in the high technology and intellectual property areas, is now at the university and Mtech. MIPLRC's legal services are available at no charge to university faculty and students, regional entrepreneurs and startup companies.
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) GOLD
A free public resource which provides a one-stop gateway to WIPO's global collections of searchable IP data.
Educational Courses in Technology Transfer
Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences Graduate School at NIH
University of Maryland
Office of Technology Commercialization, Division of Research

Funding Resources
The Maryland Technology Transfer and Commercialization Fund (MTTCF)
MTTCF supports companies' technology development projects that transfer technology to the commercial sector from any university or federal laboratory in Maryland. The Fund also supports any companies in an approved incubator that desires to move technology projects forward, and are taking advantage of incubator business services. Funds up to $75,000 are available to defray a company's direct cost of developing early stage technology. Click on "Funding Opportunities" under TEDCO Programs for more information.
Mid-Atlantic Venture Association
703.506.9300
A global nonprofit organization with over 650 funds in the U.S. and internationally. NASVF promotes investments in seed and early-stage companies by supporting entrepreneurship and job creation through the formation of innovative capital programs.
Specializes in raising funds from government agencies through grants and contracts.
The Maryland Industrial Partnerships Program, an initiative of the A. James Clark School of Engineering’s Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute, or Mtech, brings university innovation to the commercial sector by supporting university-based research projects to help Maryland companies develop technology-based products. Commercial products benefiting from MIPS projects have generated more than $19.5 billion in revenue, added thousands of jobs to the region, and contributed to successes such as Martek Biosciences’ nutritional oils, Hughes Communications’ HughesNet™, MedImmune’s Synagis®, and Black & Decker’s Bullet® Speed Tip Masonry Drill Bit.

What is the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program?
SBIR & STTR Resources
The SBIR program, as established by law, is intended to meet the following goals:
- strengthen the role of small business in meeting Federal research or research and development (R/R&D) needs;
- increase the commercial application of Federally-supported research results;
- foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned business concerns in the SBIR program; and
- improve the return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the Nation.
The SBIR program is structured in three phases, the first two of which are supported using SBIR funds. The objective of Phase I is to establish the technical/scientific merit and feasibility of the proposed R/R&D efforts. The objective of Phase II is to continue the research or R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. An objective of the SBIR program is to increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R&D. The objective of Phase III, where appropriate, is for the SBC to pursue with non-SBIR funds (either Federal or non-Federal) the commercialization objectives resulting from the results of the R/R&D funded in Phases I and II. In some Federal agencies, Phase III may involve follow-on, non-SBIR funded R&D, or production contracts for products or processes intended for use by the U.S. Government.
The competition for SBIR Phase I and Phase II awards satisfies the competition requirement of the Armed Services Procurement Act, the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, and the Competition in Contracting Act. Therefore, an agency that wishes to fund an SBIR Phase III project is not required to conduct another competition in order to satisfy those statutory provisions. As a result, in conducting actions relative to a Phase III SBIR award, it is sufficient to state for purposes of a Justification and Approval pursuant to FAR 6.302-5 that the project is a SBIR Phase III award that is derived from, extends, or logically concludes efforts performed under prior SBIR funding agreements and is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2304(b)(2) or 41 U.S.C. 253(b)(2).
