HR 5100 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To extend the SBIR and STTR programs, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill extends the authorization for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs operated by the federal government. Both programs provide federal research and development funding to small businesses, and the bill extends their authorization periods by one year, from 2025 to 2026. The bill also extends multiple related SBIR and STTR pilot programs and initiatives, including the Phase Flexibility program, Commercialization Readiness Program, Accelerated Awards, Phase 0 Pilot Program, and several other specialized programs. All of these extensions change expiration dates from September 30, 2025 (or fiscal year 2025) to September 30, 2026 (or fiscal year 2026). The bill preserves the ability of federal agencies to continue awarding SBIR and STTR grants and conducting related pilot programs through fiscal year 2026.
