Washington, D.C.
The Committee on Small Business will hold a hybrid hearing titled: “Overview of the Small
Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Programs.” The hearing
is scheduled to begin at 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, March 8, 2022 in Room 2360 of the Rayburn
House Office Building. Participating members can also join remotely via Zoom.
This is the third hearing in a series on the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small
Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which are authorized through September 30,
2022. The SBIR and STTR programs foster partnerships between small businesses and the federal
government by making competitive awards to develop technologies that are important to our
country and later have commercial application. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is
responsible for coordinating policy across the 11 participating agencies, monitoring
implementation of the programs, maintaining policy directives, and developing annual reports to
Congress. SBA also serves as the central repository for SBIR and STTR data. Members will have
an opportunity to hear directly from SBA on issues related to the reauthorization of the programs.
