SBIR/STTR Oversight Act

# SBIR/STTR Oversight Act Summary ## What It Does This bill would strengthen oversight and accountability measures for two federal programs that provide grants and contracts to small businesses for research and development: the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. These programs currently distribute billions of dollars annually to help small companies develop innovative technologies across various industries. ## Who It Affects The bill primarily impacts small businesses that participate in or seek funding from these federal programs, as well as the federal agencies that administer them. It may also indirectly affect the broader small business innovation ecosystem and taxpayers funding these programs. ## Current Status The bill was introduced by Rep.

Morgan McGarvey (D-Kentucky) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. Without additional information about specific provisions, the exact nature of the proposed oversight changes is unclear from available details.
