Key federal innovation programs for small businesses get one-year extension.
This bill would extend federal programs that help small businesses and researchers create new technologies. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs would continue. Several related initiatives would also keep offering funding and support through September 30, 2026. This means small businesses and research institutions would keep these chances for an extra year.
Today, federal programs that help small businesses and researchers develop new technologies are set to end on September 30, 2025. If this bill becomes law, these programs, including the main SBIR and STTR initiatives and several related pilot programs, would continue to operate for an additional year, through September 30, 2026.
