SBIR Extended Until July 31
This week, Congress passed H.R. 1541, a continuing resolution that extends the SBIR program in its current state until July 31, 2009. The extension provides another four-month window for the two chambers to develop a compromise toward full reauthorization.
The 100-word resolution extends all other programs within the Small Business Administration that were set to expire Friday, March 19, including the National Women's Business Council, the HUBZone Program, and the Federal and State Technology Partnership Program (which has not received an appropriation for several years).
