Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: The purpose of this grant is to build a data-driven mechanism to identify gaps in the greater Tulsa region's autonomous systems supply chain to guide investment and support the region's small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) through technical and lending services to expand or pivot operations into autonomous systems.
This grant enables tailored manufacturing facilities to rapidly scale SMMs manufacturing capabilities.
Activities to be performed: Hire key staff, including a supply chain program manager at Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance (OMA), a Center for Smart Supply Chain Management (CSSCM) director and research manager, and graduate researchers to coordinate with faculty to establish programming.
Author and produce the inaugural quarterly supply chain analysis report (SCAR) with SSBLC amendments on an ongoing basis.
The SCAR will continue to be produced on an ongoing basis.
Hold the inaugural Strategic Small Business Lending Coalition (SSBLC) event.
Work with at least 50 autonomous systems-related companies by year five of funding.
Expected outcomes: Produce and disseminate SCARs reports, increase the number of companies engaged in the Technical Assistance Program (TAP) and accessing federal funds through the Strategic Small Business Lending Coalition (SSBLC).
Also, increase the number of loans disbursed by tracking $32 million in federal funds and the utilization of $7.5 million in RLF.
Intended beneficiaries: Beneficiaries are SMMs in the GTR focused on autonomous systems manufacturing.
Subrecipient activities: Hire key staff across OMA, OSU, and TEDC.
Establish SCAP database, analyzation tools, and programming.
Produce SCARs through the duration of the TARMAC grant program.
Formalize SSBLC processes, procedures, and administration.
Build technical advisory capabilities and services.
Provide advisory services as the TAP ramps to 100% cohort capacity.
