Biotech hub that includes Notre Dame awarded $51M in CHIPS Act funding Funding will support a range of projects — from attracting new workers to jobs in the innovation space to helping early-stage innovators surmount cost barriers to accessing product development facilities.
The U.S. Department of Commerce and its Economic Development Administration have announced $51 million in federal funding to support the implementation of a Regional Technology and Innovation Hub that includes the University of Notre Dame among its members. Called Heartland BioWorks , the hub is led by the Applied Research Institute and aims to enhance Indiana’s capacity to make and deploy life-saving medicines. Jeffrey F.
Rhoads , vice president for research and professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Notre Dame, said, “Heartland BioWorks’ new grant is exciting news for Indiana and the Midwest writ large. Every dollar will go toward establishing our region as a national and international leader in biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
The University of Notre Dame could not be more proud to join together with the esteemed research institutions and industry partners helping to build an unparalleled innovation ecosystem and talent pipeline here in our state.
” Rhoads added, “We are especially pleased that through Heartland BioWorks, Notre Dame is able to contribute its expertise in data, bioengineering and the life sciences while also driving economic and workforce development throughout the Midwest. ” Nitesh Chawla , the Frank M.

Last October, Heartland BioWorks was one of 31 regional hubs chosen for Tech Hub designation by the Department of Commerce. It is now one of 12 hubs chosen to split $500 million in funding that stems from the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which was co-authored by Indiana’s U.S. Sen. Todd Young.
Heartland BioWorks stated that the funding will support projects to: Attract and connect workers, including those historically excluded from the innovation workforce, to good jobs. Establish a formal network to provide navigation resources, mentorship and greater access to facilities and venture capital funding to help innovators successfully scale and launch their bioproducts in the region.
Construct BioWorks HQ, a training and demonstration facility for trainees to enter the workforce and for current employees to grow.
Implement a grant program to help early-stage innovators surmount cost barriers to accessing these product development facilities, keeping biotech inventions and supply in the U.S. Develop training pathways, leveraging curricula from Indiana’s higher education institutions and other globally recognized training programs to prepare participants for high-quality jobs in biomanufacturing operator and lab technician roles once the BioWorks HQ is constructed.
In addition to the University of Notre Dame, Heartland BioWorks members include Eli Lilly, Elanco, Corteva, INCOG BioPharma Services, Roche, Indiana University, Purdue University and Ivy Tech Community College. To learn more about Heartland BioWorks, visit pathfinder. theari.

The Economic Development Administration is distributing $1.45B to disaster-affected communities through rolling applications. Nearly half of US counties qualify, but 61% have never received place-based federal funding.
Read articleOn July 20, 2026, the EDA announced it intends to invest $169 million across six Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs — quantum, nuclear, critical minerals, biosecure manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and forest bioproducts — after the Trump administration rescinded the Biden-era Phase 2 awards and reran the competition. Only two of the original winners survived. Here is the full breakdown of the six hubs, why four prior awardees were dropped, and what the re-award teaches regional coalitions about competing for the next round.
Read articleIn January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
