Ann Arbor Area Companies Awarded Over $13 Million

November 29, 2010

 

A total of 90 Michigan projects were awarded grants from the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program. 66 are from the Ann Arbor area, receiving $13,398,325 million from the program that was awarded statewide.

 

The Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program Grant was designed to provide tax credits and grants to small firms that show significant potential to produce new and cost-saving therapies, support U.S. jobs and increase U.S. competitiveness.

Under the program, a total amount of $1 billion was allocated for credits and grants with a $5 million limit per each eligible applicant. Since awards were made by project, applicants who submitted more than one project that received a grant or credit may be listed more than once. The IRS determined the credit or grant amount for each approved project.
