Program Types
Programs Available for Biomedical & Life Sciences Businesses
Texas biomedical & life sciences businesses may be eligible for these types of government programs, sourced from federal, state, and local agencies.
Government grants provide direct funding to Texas businesses without requiring repayment. Programs range from federal SBIR/STTR research grants to state workforce training grants and local economic development awards. Eligibility varies by agency, industry, business size, and project type.
Government-backed loans provide below-market-rate financing for Texas businesses through SBA 7(a), SBA 504, Microloans, USDA rural lending, and CDFI programs. These loans typically offer lower interest rates, longer repayment terms, and lower down payments than conventional bank financing.
Technical assistance programs provide free or subsidized expert consulting to Texas businesses. Programs include SBDCs, SCORE mentoring, the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center (TMAC), Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs), and university-based programs that help businesses with strategy, operations, and government program navigation.
Business incentives are performance-based programs offered by state and local governments to attract investment and create jobs. Texas programs include the Texas Enterprise Fund, Chapter 380/381 agreements, tax increment financing, and deal-closing funds that provide direct financial incentives tied to job creation and capital investment commitments.
