COVID19 Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) for Businesses
This newly established program by the Department of Energy (DOE) allows national laboratories such as Berkeley Lab to offer short-term, limited assistance to U.S.-based entities dealing with particularly challenging technical hurdles in fighting COVID-19. The funds will support limited-duration and -scope (up to 40 hours) of technical services, analysis, testing, and consulting; they are not intended to be R&D intensive. Berkeley Lab is accepting and considering proposals on a rolling basis, however, funding is finite, so the sooner proposals are submitted, the better. To learn more, interested parties can visit the COVID-19 Innovation Portal to explore experts, user facilities, and technologies. Entities who want to work with Berkeley Lab should submit their proposals here. Questions about CTAP can be sent to ipo@lbl.gov. |
Berkeley City Council allocated up to $3 million in emergency relief grants for small businesses, nonprofit arts organizations, and worker rent support. Community members supplemented this fund by donating online through berkeleyrelieffund.org. Currently, all funds have been distributed and the program is no longer accepting applications.
