Descrição:
The
SBIR
program allocates 2.5 percent of 11 federal agencies' extramural R&D budgets to fund R&D projects by small businesses, providing approximately $2 billion annually in competitive awards. At the request of Congress, the National Academies conducted a comprehensive study of how the
SBIR
program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. Drawing substantially on new data collection, this book examines the
SBIR
program at the Department of Defense and makes recommendations for improvements. Separate
reports
will assess the
SBIR
program at NSF, NIH, DOE, and NASA, respectively, along with a comprehensive report on the entire program.
