Founded in 1982, SBIR was designed to encourage small business to develop new processes and products and to provide quality research in support of the many missions of the U.S. government, including health, energy, the environment, and national defense. In response to a request from the U.S. Congress, the National Research Council assessed SBIR as administered by the five federal agencies that together make up 96 percent of program expenditures. This book, one of six in the series, reports on the SBIR program at the Department of Energy. It finds that, in spite of resource constraints, the DoE has made significant progress in meeting the legislative objectives of SBIR and that the program is effectively addressing the mission of the Department of Energy. The book documents the achievements and challenges of the program and recommends programmatic changes to make the SBIR program even more effective in achieving its legislative goals. 517 3 $aAssessment of small business innovation research program at the Department of Energy 606 $aSmall business$xTechnological innovations$xResearch$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aBusiness$xResearch 615 0$aSmall business$xTechnological innovations$xResearch 615 0$aBusiness$xResearch. 676 $a338.6 701 $aWessner$b Charles W$0857991 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Capitalizing on Science, Technology, and Innovation: An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968129303321 996 $aAn assessment of the SBIR program at the Department of Energy$94360459 997 $aUNINA
