Title: Amendment to the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program--A Policy Directive To Increase SBIR Award Amounts To Adjust for Inflation
Abstract: SBA proposes to increase the award size thresholds for the SBIR program to adjust for inflation. The Agency is authorized by statute to adjust the award amounts once every 5 years to reflect economic adjustments and programmatic considerations. The current thresholds, set in 1992, are $100,000 for Phase I awards and $750,000 for Phase II awards. SBA proposes to increase the award amounts to $150,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, to account for increases in the costs of performing research and development.
