In these cases, projects must aim to commercialize or substantially de-risk an innovation. While AmplifyMass funding may be used to support development of any technology or proposed business model that meets MassCEC’s definition of “Climatetech”(as defined in project eligibility below), particular emphasis will be placed on identifying projects in one or more the following areas, as long as the proposed innovation relates to advanced and applied technologies that significantly reduce or eliminate the use of energy from non-renewable sources:  \n1. Energy & Electricity – increasing renewable energy generation and modernizing the grid  \n2. Transportation – transitioning to zero-emissions vehicles, enhancing public transit, and promoting alternative fuel options  \n3. Manufacturing & Industry – Adopting carbon reducing technologies and processes, sustainable production practices through a circular economy, and carbon capture related technologies  \n4. Agriculture & Water – adopting sustainable farming and forest management practices and leveraging nature-based solutions  \n5. Buildings– improving energy and heating efficiency, transitioning to renewable sources, and implementing sustainable construction practices/materials  \n6. Resilience and Adaptation – implementing climate-smart planning, strengthening infrastructure, and promoting nature-based solutions to reduce vulnerability to climate change  \nEligibility  \nApplicant Eligibility  \nEligible applicants include:  \n• Massachusetts based startup companies; and  \n• Nonprofit research or academic institutions/universities  \nThese applicants are eligible to apply for cost-share support or adder funding.  \nThese applicants must be the technology developer, or the entity that is developing the core/proprietary technology and pursuing its commercialization.  \n“Cost share support” is defined by this program as grant funding that an applicant is seeking from MassCEC that is required by the prime award. In other words, the prime award is contingent upon the applicant contributing a specified amount of funding, called cost share funding.  \nFor cost-share support, awards are typically a fraction of the required cost-share and the total project cost. For cost-share support, applications must be submitted before the primary funding is contracted.  \n“Adder funding” is defined by this program as grant funding that an applicant is seeking from MassCEC that is not required by the prime award but would be used to expand or enhance the clean energy or climatetech project scope funded by the prime award. In assessing requests for adder funding, MassCEC places special consideration on what the project will be able to accomplish with the adder funding that it wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Adder funding budget items should clearly and directly expand or enhance additional clean energy or climatetech project outcomes and be linked to project work (I.E., not used for overhead.) The AmplifyMass application form allows space for adder funding justification.  \nIf the applicant is a Massachusetts-based company currently working as a subcontractor under a prime award to a different entity, it is still eligible to apply for AmplifyMass. The relationship and funding streams must be clear in the application to AmplifyMass.  \nEligibility for Companies  \nCompanies applying must be a small business, as outlines by the United States Small Business Administration’s “Table of Size Standards”  \nCompanies must also have a significant Massachusetts presence.
