RCIC's

Seven regions of the state have been established to administer the program through a “Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization.” In addition, a statewide Life Science Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization also was formed.

The RCICs act as the regional agent for the ETF Advisory Committee to identify, evaluate, and submit promising proposals from their respective regions to the ETF Advisory Committee. The ETF Advisory Committee makes decisions on awards and forwards them to the Leadership Team. RCICs will work closely with applicants in assisting with ETF proposal development, post-proposal debriefings, and commercialization activities. In addition, RCICs are a strong focal point to increasing cooperation and spurning collaboration between industrial, financial, and academic entities.
