INL ’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP) works to assist job creation and enhance the entrepreneurial climate for emerging innovation-based businesses. TAP’s contribution to strengthening and growing innovation-based economies is to offer technical assistance of up to 40 hours to provide support and technical expertise that is not available in the private sector within the region (i.e., INL cannot compete with the private sector). Between 2005 and 2016, TAP has sponsored 9,100 hours of assistance to entrepreneurs and small businesses. During the past year, INL has dedicated 240 hours to six TAP projects focused on increasing INL ’s goodwill and community outreach through projects that intersect and support the laboratory’s mission areas. Select TAP projects from 2016 include: Technical Assistance Program
