The New Hampshire Innovation Research Center is soliciting proposals for funding partnership projects between New Hampshire companies and academic institutions via the Granite State Technology Innovation Grant. The purpose of the New Hampshire Innovation Research Center (NHIRC) is to expand the research activities of an industry partner by providing funds for collaboration with university faculty and laboratories. If requested, the NHIRC will assist companies to identify a faculty researcher to see if there is interest in collaboration on a project. The NHIRC maintains the confidentiality of proposals.
