GreenTechnologies, LLC, a small business based in Gainesville, Florida, was awarded Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish its innovative nutrient recycling process and phosphorus adsorption technology, which improves water treatment processes without adding hazardous chemicals to the water source.

Laverne Morrow Carter says SBIR funding gave the company credibility, validation, and critical reviewer feedback that further improved their research plan. But she says the biggest benefit came out of her participation in the NIH Commercialization Acceleration Program, where she received one-on-one mentorship from an experienced entrepreneur who suggested she turn the LYFE Virtually platform into a product.

The SBIR and STTR programs fund a diverse portfolio of startups and small businesses across technology areas and markets to stimulate technological innovation, meet Federal research and development (R&D) needs, and increase commercialization to transition R&D into impact.

We foster and encourage participation in innovation and entrepreneurship by all people, including women, people of color, people with disabilities, and entrepreneurs located in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) established the Small Business Transportation Resource Centers (SBTRCs) through a network of grantees across the country. The SBTRCs work closely with the transportation contracting community and other technical assistance providers to serve small disadvantaged transportation businesses.

SBTRCs provide an array of technical assistance to build the capacity of Small and Disadvantaged Businesses, making the businesses more competitive when bidding on DOT procurement opportunities and federally-funded contracts. Services include the following:

The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) is a nearly $10 billion program to support small businesses and entrepreneurship in communities across the United States by providing capital and technical assistance to promote small business stability, growth, and success. SSBCI represents a transformational investment in American small businesses and is expected to catalyze up to $10 of private investment for every $1 of SSBCI Capital Program funding to increase access to capital to small businesses and entrepreneurs, including those in underserved communities.

Please note that Treasury has assigned individual Outreach Managers to each State, Territory, and Tribal Government to serve as an individualized point of contact for the SSBCI Program. If you are a Participating Jurisdiction and do not know who your outreach manager is, please contact ssbci_in...@treasury.gov.

The USDA SBIR/STTR programs focus on transforming scientific discovery into products and services with commercial potential and/or societal benefit. Unlike fundamental research, the USDA SBIR/STTR programs support small businesses in the creation of innovative, disruptive technologies and enable the application of research advancements from conception into the market. The STTR program aims to foster technology transfer through formal cooperative R&D between small businesses and nonprofit research institutions.

Projects dealing with agriculturally-related manufacturing and alternative and renewable energy technologies are encouraged across all SBIR/STTR topic areas. USDA SBIR/STTR's flexible research areas ensure innovative projects consistent with USDA's vision of a healthy and productive nation in harmony with the land, air, and water. The USDA SBIR/STTR programs have awarded over 2000 research and development projects since 1983, allowing hundreds of small businesses to explore their technological potential, and providing an incentive to profit from the commercialization of innovative ideas.

SBS Commissioner Kevin D. Kim celebrated the conclusion of FY24 which saw historic milestones in neighborhood investment, small business formation, New Yorkers employed, and businesses served. These record achievements took place as NYC regained all of the private sector jobs lost during the COVID-19 pandemic and saw the largest number of small businesses in its history, with 1 in 3 created since 2022.

Concern for small businesses being overburdened by regulatory demands led to the creation of the Small Business Ombudsman Office in 1995. The Ombudsman serves as the primary advocate for small businesses within the Department. Small business owners with a question or issue with DEP can request assistance from the Ombudsman to voice their concerns and interests with the Department.

Any Pennsylvania-based small businesses with 100 or fewer full-time employees can receive free, confidential service from the Ombudsman for issues pertaining to DEP. By law, the Ombudsman may not reveal the identity of any small business who contacts the Office without their permission. All contacts and information are kept strictly confidential.

The Ombudsman can also help identify technical and financial opportunities for energy efficiency and pollution control programs available through various state and federal programs, including grants and loans only available through the Ombudsman Office.

Since 2004, more than 2,500 Pennsylvania small businesses have benefited from the Small Business Advantage Grant by upgrading lighting, installing efficient HVAC systems, or investing in equipment designed to eliminate waste or pollution from their operations. The program offers the opportunity for a 50% matching grant (up to a maximum of $9,500) to purchase energy efficient or pollution prevention equipment or adopt processes eliminating waste and pollution.

Pennsylvania-based businesses with 100 or fewer full-time employees are eligible. Eligible applications are considered on a first-come, first served basis until funding is exhausted. The grant is typically offered once per year. Visit the Small Business Advantage Grant website for additional information.

For nearly 20 years, small businesses across Pennsylvania have benefited from the PPAA loan to upgrade and install efficient HVAC systems, upgrade lighting, modernize their wastewater systems, eliminate costly hazardous waste production and fund numerous other projects.

Small shipyards are a critical component of U.S. maritime operations and economic security, employing more than 100,000 Americans, fostering communities along and near our nation's ports and waterways, and contributing tens of billions in gross domestic product.

The Maritime Administration's Small Shipyard Grant Program is designed to support small shipyard projects that make capital and related improvements; or provide training for workers in shipbuilding, ship repair, and associated industries. Supporting these types of projects drives efficiency, competitive operations, and quality ship construction, repair, and reconfiguration across the industry.

Grants are capped at 75 percent of the project's estimated cost and are available to facilities with fewer than 1,200 production employees. Additional information can be found in the Federal Register.
