Federally funded research and development (R&D) has produced innumerable innovations and
discoveries, leading to new companies and entire industries that have made America a global
leader in science and technology fields. While small businesses are a major driver of American
innovation, commercialization, and overall economic growth, they oftentimes struggle to obtain
crucial early financing. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business
Technology Transfer (STTR) programs reduce the risks associated with early stage technology
and stimulate commercialization of federal R&D innovations. The hearing will give Members the
opportunity to learn more about “America’s Seed Fund” programs and their impact on pioneering
small business
