This bill changes dates in the Small Business Act to extend the authority for the SBIR and STTR programs and several related pilot activities through fiscal year 2026 or September 30, 2026. It updates multiple sections that previously referred to 2025 so the programs, pilot projects, and certain administrative authorities continue into 2026.
If you are a small business, researcher, or organization that uses SBIR or STTR awards or the listed pilot programs, this bill would keep those programs authorized for an additional year (through 2026). It preserves existing program types and pilot activities named in the Small Business Act by updating their authorization dates.
