Grant Description: Recent studies on economic development, including several EDA-funded reports, stress the importance of a regional approach to successful economic development efforts and the importance of fostering innovation and supporting entrepreneurship as key elements in regional economic development. EDA appreciates the importance of the regional perspective and has implemented several strategies designed to foster regional economic development planning and implementation, innovation and entrepreneurship. EDA now wishes to develop credible measures of regional economic impact, innovation and entrepreneurship and the efficacy of these efforts in fostering increased productivity of goods and services, new business formation and economic growth. Pursuant to its NTA Program, EDA is soliciting applications for four economic development research projects addressing the areas of: (1) rural economic development policy; (2) business incubators; (3) 21st century regionalism; and (4) private sector community investment. Please refer to the full FFO announcement for more information on each of the four research projects.
