Voucher Program

Note: The Massachusetts Innovation Voucher Program (MIVP) has not been funded FY25. 

A state voucher program previously funded by the Massachusetts legislature gave small and medium-sized businesses (<50 FTEs) access to the university’s leading-edge research facilities at reduced rates. More than 90 core facilities, from 3D printing to x-ray scattering, are available for use with the voucher program.

Eligibility requirements:

  • Start-ups and companies with 10 or fewer employees receive a 75% subsidy.
  • Start-ups and companies with 11-50 employees receive a 50% subsidy.
  • Start-ups and companies with over 50 FTEs are not eligible for this program.
