Broaden access to federal small-business research awards

Warren proposed spreading Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer awards across a wider variety of small businesses, with particular focus on increasing the diversity of recipients. She also proposed putting more weight on commercializing the research and development those programs fund, so more people could benefit from it.

Context: The proposal concerns the SBIR and STTR programs; it does not specify how award selection or commercialization priorities would change.

In their own words

My administration will spread SBIR awards across a greater variety of small businesses and focus especially on increasing the diversity of awardees.
