Research Advancing to Market Production for Innovators Act
This bill amends the Small Business Act to improve how federal agencies support small businesses in turning research into market products through the SBIR and STTR programs. It shortens peer review timelines from one year to 180 days, requires reviewers to assess commercialization potential alongside technical merit, and mandates agencies to appoint dedicated Technology Commercialization Officials. Agencies must also track success through annual reports measuring revenue from new products, patents, follow-on funding, and spin-out companies. The changes directly affect small businesses receiving SBIR/STTR grants and federal agencies managing these programs.
