Description
The Technology Access Program (TAP) is a funding mechanism of the Delaware Bioscience Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) Grant Program. Funded by the State of Delaware and administered by the Delaware Biotechnology Institute, TAP helps Delaware bioscience businesses use high-end research technologies at reduced rates.
TAP supports access to core-facility technologies rather than a particular research topic. The application offers Bioimaging, Bioinformatics, DNA Sequencing & Genotyping, Flow Cytometry, Mass Spectrometry, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) as facility choices. The broader CAT program aims to foster bioscience research and development and support the growth of Delaware’s economy.
