WASHINGTON, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Maria Contreras-Sweet announced during National Small Business Week 2015 that the SBA is crowdsourcing the official logo for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs, "America's Seed Fund" and has made major improvements to the www.sbir.gov website.
The SBA oversees the SBIR and the STTR programs, America's largest seed fund for small businesses in the STEM fields. These programs allocate $2.5 billion a year to small innovators. By reserving a specific percentage of federal R&D funds for smaller firms, this encourages domestic small businesses to engage in high-growth priorities and build a strong national economy.
