They've been meeting for almost a year with good intent: make SBIR more "effective and efficient". They're calling it SBIR 2.0 - borrowing on the Web 2.0

creators to content users) in a collaborative fashion.
Don't be fooled. It's not the same thing. Not even close. They're talking the talk. But not walking the walk.

Are SBIR funded companies (the content users) involved? Nope. Were
past and retired SBIR Program Directors consulted? Nope. Were SBIR's
founders consulted? Nope.
