Overview: A 1982 study comparing large and small businesses sparked the development of the SBIR program. The study found that small businesses provided two and a half times as many innovations per employee as large businesses, while large businesses were nearly three times as likely to receive government assistance. In response, Congress passed the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982, creating the Small Business Innovation Research Program. The Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program has encouraged thousands of small businesses to explore technological options and contribute to the United States' research and development needs.
