SBIR/STTR Programs Have Lapsed: What’s Next for Small Businesses?

On Thursday October 23rd, CEBN held a webinar on the lapse of SBIR/STTR programs. Presentation slides and a recording are available. CEBN will continue to advocate for the reauthorization of the SBIR/STTR programs and provide updates on any further developments. We encourage all impacted business leaders to reach out to your Senators through CEBN’s email form and share a case study with our partner organization, the Small Business Technology Council (SBTC).

CEBN sent a letter to all Senators signed by more than 250 business leaders supporting SBIR/STTR reauthorization. We will continue to advocate for these programs and provide updates on any further developments.
