Small businesses could get a larger share of federal research money through SBIR and STTR. The bill also adds more help for turning research into real products, while giving agencies new reporting and security duties.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Small Business, and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.R. 3169: Referred to the Committee on Small Business, and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects small businesses that seek federal money for research and development. It also affects federal agencies that run SBIR and STTR, research institutions that partner with small firms, and investors in small technology companies. Some applicants could get more funding and support. Others could face more reporting, review, or ownership checks.
Why this matters: This bill could change who gets federal research money and how fast small-business research reaches the market. It would put more federal research dollars into small firms and give agencies more duties to help successful projects keep moving. It could also widen access for underrepresented schools, states, and business owners. The tradeoff is more oversight, more data collection, and tougher checks for some firms with foreign ties or investment ownership.
