NETAAC offers cost shared assistance for import-injured manufacturers through a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Companies that have experienced recent declines in sales and employment, due at least in part to increasing imports of competitive products, are eligible for participation in the program, in which the federal government pays 50% of the cost of consulting services such as Leanovations designed to help the client firm improve its competitive position. (The federal government pays 75% if the firm requests $30,000 or less of assistance.)
