This won't be news to those of you who subscribe to Rick Shindell's SBIR Insider, but I'm adding my voice to the entreaties to stabilize the SBIR funding landscape for a full year.

The Senate recently passed S.990 which (as the 12th continuing resolution in the current string) extends the SBIR, STTR and CPP programs one full year, until May 31st, 2012.

The bill comes up for a vote in the House this week. It's being slotted for a vote under "suspension" which would be a voice vote, but any member can request a recorded vote, and we expect that will happen.

So, we're encouraging everyone to quickly contact your House Member (and more specifically their Legislative Counsel for Small Business issues) and urge passage of this bill.
