NSBA and SBTC continue leading advocacy urging Congress to reinstate the critical SBIR/STTR funds for small-business research and innovation.
Last week, SBTC Chair and former Chief Counsel for SBA's Office of Advocacy Jere Glover sat down for an interview on The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton, this week, with Jared Serbu, discussing current events in the federal community.
During the sit down, Jere and Jared discussed how Small Businesses funded through SBIR programs have developed critical technologies and products positively affecting our society, including beneficial pharmaceuticals generating more than $36 billion in annual sales, treating everything from Hodgkin's lymphoma to breast cancer.

Listen and share the conversation, and urge Congress to reinstate the critical SBIR and STTR programs today:
