MSCRF (Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund)

The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund (MSCRF) is a state-level funding mechanism administered by the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) under the Maryland Stem Cell Research Act of 2006. It supports human stem cell research and related medical treatment development through grants to public and private entities in Maryland. MSCRF is structured as seven sub-programs: Launch, Discovery, Validation, Commercialization, Clinical, Post-Doctoral Fellowship, and Manufacturing Assistance. Most sub-programs follow mid-January and mid-July cycles, while Discovery and Post-Doctoral Fellowship are aligned to the mid-January schedule only. Clinical and Manufacturing Assistance require 1:1 non-state matching, and Clinical applications require an IND. The 2026 summer cycle shows a 2026-06-23 deadline in the captured overview, while detailed award amounts and call documents are hosted on mscrf.org and are not replicated in the TEDCO summary.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
