About the MTRAC Program - MSU Innovation Center Home » Tech Transfer & Commercialization » MTRAC Innovation Hub for AgBio » About the MTRAC Program Michigan Translational Research and Commercialization (MTRAC) The MTRAC Program, co-funded by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) through the Michigan Strategic Fund, was created in 2012 to accelerate the transfer of new technologies from Michigan’s institutions of higher learning into the commercial market through licenses or startups.
In 2016, the program expanded as a statewide program to support translational research throughout the state of Michigan. The expansion reinforces the commitment to entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth by providing a pathway to accelerate the creation and transfer of new technologies into the commercial market.
Five Innovation Hubs across the state, in key technology areas, support projects from all institutions of higher education, hospital systems, and nonprofit research centers.
For more information on each Innovation Hub’s technology focus, eligibility, and application process, please visit the individual websites below: Michigan State University AgBio Innovation Hub MSU’s MTRAC AgBio Innovation Hub is designed to bridge the gap between successful academic research results and the point at which an innovation is sufficiently developed, scaled up, and de-risked to enable it to transition to commercial development.
The MSU MTRAC program focuses on agricultural and industrial biotechnology, biomaterials, bioprocessing, and related technologies that fall outside the domain of human medicine. This can include research in areas from animal and crop health to innovative machine learning and blockchain applications useful in agriculture and food production to novel food, fiber, and biomaterial processing.
Recent examples of the areas of translational research have included funding in bio-based chemicals, biofuel synthesis, livestock health and nutrition, crop improvement, novel consumer food products, and agricultural production tools and methods.

The full ASPECT NOFO (DE-FOA-0003647) posted September 4, 2026, eleven days later than the Notice of Intent predicted. The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.
Read articleThe Humana Foundation's first 2026 slate funded 13 nonprofits and five university research teams around senior and veteran emotional health, with awards from $150,000 to $3 million concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Kentucky. A second health equity slate is planned for fall 2026. Here is what the portfolio structure reveals about how this funder decides, and how aging-services and behavioral health organizations should position.
Read articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
