Morocco-Tunisia Technology Commercialization Program: The Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) Office of Science and Technology Cooperation at the Department of State announces the Request for Applications (RFA) for a Morocco-Tunisia Technology Commercialization (MTTC) program. Technology development and technology-based small and medium enterprise (SME) creation are vital to creating economic opportunity in these countries. MTTC aims to enhance in-country capacity in Morocco and Tunisia to bring scientific discoveries and new technology developments to the local and global marketplace. OES will fund one grant of up to $148,500 to support one technology commercialization project in Morocco and Tunisia. A successful package should promote science and technology innovation and technology transfer. Proposed activities should build both individual and institutional capacity and may include: identifying and supporting economically viable new technologies, building institutional capacity to assess market value of scientific research, and to support technology commercialization. Proposals should include activities in both Morocco and Tunisia, but may involve separate components for each country. Applicants must have significant experience working on technology commercialization programs outside the United States. Prior project development experience in Morocco and Tunisia is preferred. Applicants are encouraged to partner or to engage with other institutions to leverage available funds. Proposals should demonstrate creativity, substance, and relevance to OES's goal of maximizing the economic benefit of science and technology innovation.
