FY 2017 Regional Innovation Strategies Program
EDA is committed to fostering connected, innovation-centric economic sectors which support the conversion of research into products and services, businesses, and ultimately jobs through entrepreneurship.
See Section 2 7.
Funding is available for capacity-building programs that
provide proof-of-concept and commercialization assistance to innovators and entrepreneurs and for operational support for organizations that provide essential early-stage funding to startups.
Under the RIS Program, EDA is soliciting applications for two separate competitions:
the 2017 i6 Challenge; and the 2017 Seed Fund Support (SFS) Grant competition.
Applicants may, but are not required to, submit proposals for more than one competition under the RIS Program.
Applicants must provide a matching share from non-Federal sources of at least 50 percent of the total project cost.
See Section C.2 (p.

Why This Book Needs to be Read By Every Social Entrepreneur
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a 1970s book by author Paulo Freire, envisions a world not as a given reality, but as “a problem to be worked on and solved.” That mentality is often applied to the greatest social entrepreneurs.
