SBIR sets aside 2.5 percent of federal agencies' R&D budgets for R&D grants to small business. Although the program's budget was nearly $1.2 billion in 1998, SBIR has been subject to relatively little outside review. As part of the STEP's ongoing project on Government-Industry Partnerships, the Board convened policymakers, academic researchers, and representatives from small business to discuss the program's history and rationale, review existing research, and identify areas for further research and program improvements.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)SBIR :challenges and opportunitiesChallenges and opportunitiesResearch and development contracts, GovernmentUnited StatesCongressesSmall businessResearchFinanceGovernment policyUnited StatesCongressesHigh technology industriesResearchGovernment policyUnited StatesCongressesResearch and development contracts, GovernmentSmall businessResearchFinanceGovernment policyHigh technology industriesResearchGovernment policy338.6/42/0973Wessner Charles W857991MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961022103321The Small Business Innovation Research Program4354271UNINA
