Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR): Leveraging American Business Growth and Jobs

January 19, 2017

Congress and President Reagan created the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program in 1982 to mobilize small business entrepreneurship and innovation to bridge a technology gap eroding American competitiveness and jobs.

Today, facing uneven economic growth and aging infrastructure, we can strengthen SBIR/STTR1 investment, unleashing small business energy and jobs in a new wave of 21st century American-made products and services.
