Industry located in Arizona, California, Michigan, New York, Oklahoma, clusters represent dense formal and informal networks of Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, and Oregon1. These companies, a supportive ecosystem for innovation, and deep grants support the creation and strengthening of regional pools of specialized and skilled workers. Through a series partnerships capable of accelerating innovation and growing of challenge grant programs—the Jobs and Innovation a region’s capacity for advanced manufacturing. This funding Accelerator Challenge grants—the Obama Administration has been used for activities such as worker training programs has invested in numerous regional efforts to strengthen and or connecting manufacturers to resources like national labs grow regionally-based industry clusters.

Ultimately, these grants present regions with leverage funding and technical assistance from multiple an opportunity not only to expand their current activities, Federal agencies in a coordinated regional effort to generate but also to fundamentally transform the way that the region greater impact than any individual agency might be able to supports its manufacturers. achieve through their respective individual grant programs. The AMJIAC regions are now roughly halfway through The first of these competitive Federal grant awards (the their three year awards. The foundation for each initiative Jobs and Innovation Challenge) involved three agencies has been put into place, and implementation has begun. provided funding to twenty regions in 2010.

It begins with a brief regions (the Rural Jobs and Innovation Challenge).

In the Advanced Manufacturing what MEP centers have gained through their participation in Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge (AMJIAC), NIST these regional initiatives. provided resources directly to MEP centers. In prior rounds, MEP contributed technical assistance to many grantees, but the AMJIAC grants received NIST MEP funding for the first time. Four other agencies joined NIST MEP to support advanced manufacturing clusters through the AMJIAC. 10 Public Private Partnerships Those agencies included the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA), the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Department of Energy (DoE), and the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). 1 The complete list of projects can be found in the Appendix. 2 Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge 1.0 AMJIAC Partnerships, Goals and Activities Although the AMJIAC grants have a complex structure, they Arizona AMJIAC led by the Arizona Commerce Authority do allow flexibility for regions to determine the best way to (ACA)2.

The AMJIAC awards therefore give regions potentially more diverse set of networks, capabilities and the opportunity to engage relevant stakeholders such as resources to the AMJIAC projects.
