SMALL BUSINESS RESEARCH PROGRAMS: More Guidance and Oversight Needed to Comply with Spending and Reporting Requirements

Note: We defined compliance as spending at least 2.6 percent of an agency’s extramural research or research and development (R&D) budget on the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program in fiscal year 2012, as required by the Small Business Act. This method is consistent with SBA’s approach for determining compliance with spending requirements in its reports to Congress on the program. We used the agencies’ obligations data to represent spending for the programs, in part because obligations data were readily available from each of the agencies for program purposes, and because obligations provided a reasonable measure of the spending for the programs in each year.

a)Officials from one subunit within the Department of Commerce—the National Institute of Standards and Technology—said that they calculate their spending requirement for the program based on their actual obligations for extramural R&D for the previous fiscal year, rather than their extramural R&D budget for the current fiscal year, but they do not report this figure to SBA. We used the data that the Department of Commerce submitted to SBA to calculate its spending requirements.
