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 $1.2 billion in 1998, SBIR has been subject to relatively little outside review. As part of the STEP's ongoing project on Government-Industry Partnerships, the Board convened policymakers, academic researchers, and representatives from small business to discuss the program's history and rationale, review existing research, and identify areas for further research and program improvements. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 517 1 $aSBIR :$echallenges and opportunities 517 3 $aChallenges and opportunities 606 $aResearch and development contracts, Government$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aSmall business$xResearch$xFinance$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aHigh technology industries$xResearch$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aResearch and development contracts, Government 615 0$aSmall business$xResearch$xFinance$xGovernment policy 615 0$aHigh technology industries$xResearch$xGovernment policy 676 $a338.6/42/0973 701 $aWessner$b Charles W$0857991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961022103321 996 $aThe Small Business Innovation Research Program$94354271 997 $aUNINA
