Having been a graduate student in science, I have some experience with seeing how R&D money works. For example, my research was about characterizing the materials that will go into future computers. Thus, we got money from computer companies, like Intel and IBM. You'll want to look for companies that you could imagine one day wanting to sell your invention.

Plus, you are going to need to tell them something, even if it's limited information. There are some previous posts about having an executive summary to show. They aren't just going to give you money for what you claim is a good idea. Be sure to be ready to tell them what they get for their money. They are interested in profits, not whether or not your invention is made. Good luck!

How much are you looking for? SBA may be a good option for you if the amount is not so big.

HAve you checked with the SBA small business administration? My understanding is that they may have special minority programs, as well as general funding. You will need a business plan.

That is great. Tell us more. Have you WRITTEN A BUSINESS PLAN??
How about visiting a SCORE office and talking to a SCORE Counselor.
They should be able to assist you.
Good luck, LUCKIEST

Congratulations! What type of R&D is it? Sometimes there are grants & loans that are industry specific. Or a times you can find private corporations to fund it, if you provide them with the results, etc. A lot of R&D is funded by private corporations. If you tell us more, maybe we can help further. Good luck!
