Welcometo the new SBIR.gov, to assist in getting you situated with the system, a preview of the new login and registration process is available here. Please reach out to the website support team with any questions at (571) 306-5201 or via sba.sbir...@reisystems.com

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 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 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 DLA Office of Small Business Programs provides training, advice, guidance and strategies to maximize opportunities for small businesses to participate in DLA's acquisition program, both as prime contractors and subcontractors.

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.

In April of 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau launched the Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS) to produce crucial data in near real-time on the challenges small business were facing due to the Coronavirus pandemic. After two years of data collection, the SBPS is closed. The Census Bureau incorporated lessons learned and stakeholder feedback from SBPS to continue near real time data with the Business Trends and Outlook Survey.

To mark the closing of the SBPS chapter, a series of charts were created that highlight the three indexes that span the entirety of the survey. These indexes offer a numeric representation of one or more questions and provide a view into how small businesses weathered the past two years.

The Overall Sentiment Index summarizes the responses to the Overall Effect question to provide a numeric representation of the survey topic. Negative values (up to -1) of the index indicate a negative effect (increasingly so as the index value approaches -1), zero indicates little or no effect, and positive values (up to +1) indicate a positive effect (increasingly so as the index value approaches +1). In Figure 1, this index has been plotted as a line over the Overall Effect survey responses using a secondary y-axis to the right of the chart.

The Operational Challenges Index summarizes, among others, survey responses to changes in revenue, employment and hours worked questions to provide a numeric representation of the average effect of the pandemic on business operations. Negative values (up to -1) of the index indicate a negative effect on operations (increasingly so as the index value approaches -1), zero indicates little or no effect, and positive values (up to +1) indicate a positive effect (increasingly so as the index value approaches +1).

The Expected Recovery Index summarizes responses to the Future Expectations question to provide a numeric measure of the average expected recovery time of businesses. Negative values (up to -1) of the index indicate that the business needs time to recover (and an increasing recovery period as the index value approaches -1), while zero indicates little or no effect (no recovery period). In Figure 5, this index has been plotted as a line over the Future Expectations survey responses using a secondary y-axis to the right of the chart.

Data is available by sector, state, and for the top 50 MSAs. Survey results give local, state, and federal officials essential real-time data to aid in policy and decision-making. In addition, the information aids businesses in making economic decisions and assists researchers studying the effects of the pandemic.

The target population is all nonfarm, single-location employer businesses with 1-499 employees and receipts of $1,000 or more in the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The sampling frame was extracted from the Business Register in April 2020. The following industries were designated as out of scope for the Business Pulse Survey:
