There is some activity going on that could have major impact (mostly negative) on the small businesses that participate in the SBIR and STTR programs. A new commercialization benchmark could put you in an SBIR Black Book (perhaps better described as an SBIR Penalty Box). We'll explain.
There is also fallout for SBIR and STTR programs due to the condition of our country's budget, or lack thereof, and our elected officials being more interested in letting things crash, than trying to fix the situation.
