DOE and SBA Research Act
The DOE and SBA Research Act mandates collaboration between the Department of Energy and the Small Business Administration to conduct joint research and development activities. It emphasizes the inclusion of small businesses and requires a report to Congress on the progress and outcomes of these activities. The bill does not authorize additional funding and adheres to existing fiscal constraints.
