Small Business Innovation Research: Three Agencies Made Awards to Businesses Majority-Owned by Investment Companies and Funds
Abstract
As the United States competes in a global economy, the nation depends on innovation through research and development (R and D). The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program was established to enable federal agencies to support R and D projects carried out by small businesses. Participating agencies are required to spend a certain percentage of their extramural R and D obligations on their SBIR program each year. Eleven federal agencies participate in the SBIR program.
