H.R. 2763, Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Improvements Act of 2017 1 (August 17, 2017)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo3722 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE August 17, 2017 H.R. 2763 Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Improvements Act of 2017 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on June 22, 2017 Under current law, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs require federal agencies with extramural budgets for research and development (R&D) that exceed specified amounts to set aside a specified percent of that budget for contracts with small businesses or for cooperative research between small businesses and a federal laboratory or nonprofit research institution.

Based on an analysis of information from the SBA and several participating agencies, CBO estimates that implementing other provisions of H.R. 2763 would cost $5 million over the 2018-2022 period mostly for each agency participating in the STTR program to hire one additional employee to develop and implement the new
