NSBA applauds the Senate for holding this important hearing on SBIR/STTR reauthorization for Small Business.
Senate Hearing on SBIR/STTR Reauthorization March 5
MARCH 5, 2025 | TODAY, the Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship will hold a hearing scheduled on the SBIR and STTR program.
The Hearing, titled "Golden Age of American Innovation: Reforming SBIR-STTR for the 21st Century" will take place at 2:30pm in the Senate Small Business Committee Hearing room, and will be livestreamed from the Committee's website.
NSBA's Small Business Technology Council (SBTC) member Ken Mahmud from Triton Systems, Inc, has been invited to participate as one of the four witnesses.
This hearing takes place a week after the House Small Business Committee held its own hearing on SBIR/STTR reauthorization. The two committees are moving rapidly to get bills drafted and passed before the programs are set to expire on September 30.
As SBTC continues to urge Congress and its members, there is very little time to waste, as getting legislation passed through regular order can be a very long and deliberative process, of which public hearings is only the first step.
SBTC is pleased that both the House and Senate committees have thus far been moving quickly to get the process started.
