Book An Assessment of the SBIR Program at the National Institutes of Health

Download or read book An Assessment of the SBIR Program at the National Institutes of Health written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-04-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SBIR program allocates 2.5 percent of 11 federal agencies' extramural R&D budgets to fund R&D projects by small businesses, providing approximately $2 billion annually in competitive awards. At the request of Congress the National Academies conducted a comprehensive study of how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. Drawing substantially on new data collection, this book examines the SBIR program at the National Institutes of Health and makes recommendations for improvements. Separate reports will assess the SBIR program at DOD, NSF, DOE, and NASA, respectively, along with a comprehensive report on the entire program.

Book An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program

Download or read book An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-16 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a Congressional mandate, the National Research Council conducted a review of the SBIR program at the five federal agencies with SBIR programs with budgets in excess of $100 million (DOD, NIH, NASA, DOE, and NSF). The project was designed to answer questions of program operation and effectiveness, including the quality of the research projects being conducted under the SBIR program, the commercialization of the research, and the program's contribution to accomplishing agency missions. This report describes the proposed methodology for the project, identifying how the following tasks will be carried out: 1) collecting and analyzing agency databases and studies; 2) surveying firms and agencies; 3) conducting case studies organized around a common template; and 4) reviewing and analyzing survey and case study results and program accomplishments. Given the heterogeneity of goals and procedures across the five agencies involved, a broad spectrum of evaluative approaches is recommended.

Book SBIR STTR at the National Institutes of Health

Download or read book SBIR STTR at the National Institutes of Health written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs provide federal research and development funding to small businesses. In 2008, the National Research Council completed a comprehensive assessment of the SBIR and STTR programs. The first-round study found that the programs were "sound in concept and effective in practice." Building on the outcomes from the Phase I study, this second phase examines both topics of general policy interest that emerged during the first phase and topics of specific interest to individual agencies, and provides a second snapshot to measure the program's progress against its legislative goals.

Book The Small Business Innovation Research Program

Download or read book The Small Business Innovation Research Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-10-22 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small businesses have increasingly been recognized as a source of innovation, and one way in which the Federal government encourages such innovation is through the Small Business Innovation Research program. 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.
