Abstract: This application package invites small business concerns to submit a Phase II application for the Small Business Innovation Research Program (CFDA 84.133). This is in response to P.L. 106-554 , the "Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000, H.R. 5667" (the "Act") enacted on December 21, 2000. The Act requires certain agencies, including the Department of Education, to establish a Small Business Innovation Research program by reserving a statutory percentage of their extramural research and development budgets to be award to small business concerns for research or research and development through a uniform, highly competitive, three-phase process each fiscal year. This is a discretionary grant which falls under the streamlined clearance process for discretionary grant Information Collection Requests (1894-0001).
