TAAF Program Overview - TAAC TAAF: Helping U.S. Businesses Compete Against Foreign Competition Since 1974 Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) Overview Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) is a federal program that provides financial assistance to U.S. manufacturing and service companies that have been negatively affected by import competition.
Sponsored by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), through the U.S. Department of Commerce, the TAAF program was originally established in 1974 to aid manufacturing companies. In 2009, the U.S. Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signing into law provisions that expanded the TAAF program to include "service" industry firms as eligible for receiving assistance.
Regional TAACs Changes Administer Support Nationwide The TAAF program is managed nationwide by eleven regional, non-profit organizations known as Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers (TAACs). The primary role of a TAAC is to be an advocate for interested firms—simplifying a firm's participation in the program by preparing the application and guiding the firm through each phase of the program.
For qualifying companies, support continues through expert guidance and allocation of cost-share funding. TAACs help their clients design and pay for business enhancing projects which are implemented by consultants or industry experts.
TAAC professionals are also available for presentations to trade associations, economic development groups, consulting firms, banks and other groups that work closely with the qualifying firms, for the purpose of having these groups better understand this unique federal assistance program.
Collectively, experienced TAAC business professionals have helped thousands of manufacturing and service firms stay competitive in the global marketplace.

In 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.

With a 60% federal cap and a 24-36 month performance period, the design favors regional coalitions over universities. Here is how to assemble a winning application.
