house 06/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to improve transparency around federal small business research awards by requiring agencies to provide detailed information about the research institutions involved. This will help the public better understand who is benefiting from SBIR and STTR programs and how the funds are being used.

Making research funding visible means no more corporate backdoors; it’s about equity, not secrecy.

Another federal mandate—classic. If the market demands info, it’ll surface, no law needed.

Transparency upgrades for SBIR/STTR? Sounds like a reasonable step, but let’s watch for disclosure overload.

More info, less mystery—this bill is the ‘show me the money’ of government grants.

Transparency is fine, but let’s not turn this into a fishing expedition that chokes private sector speed.
