Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren Statement on House Passage of Bill to Extend SBIR and STTR Programs
(Washington, DC) – Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed under suspension of the rules H.R. 5100, which will extend the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs for one year.
“I am a strong supporter of the SBIR and STTR programs and it is my priority to see these programs continue without disruption,” said Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA). “For more than 40 years, SBIR, and later its companion program STTR, have been contributing to U.S. leadership in technological innovation through support for small business research and development. I thank my colleagues, Chair Babin, Chair Williams, and Ranking Member Velázquez for joining me in this effort. I hope to see this signed into law so our constituents can continue to reap the rewards of these programs.”
