DOE and SBA Research Act

This bill requires the Department of Energy (DOE) and Small Business Administration (SBA) to formally collaborate on joint research and development projects. It mandates that the heads of these agencies create memorandums of understanding to coordinate activities that advance both agencies' missions, with a specific requirement to include small businesses (as defined by law) in these efforts. The agencies may also use reimbursable agreements with other entities and must report to Congress within two years on their collaboration progress, achievements, and future opportunities. The bill does not authorize new funding for these activities.
