Brief Description:
On February 26, 2004, Executive Order 13329 (http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2004/pdf/04-4436.pdf)
was signed by President George W. Bush requiring SBIR/STTR agencies, to the extent permitted by law and in a manner consistent
with the mission of the Department, to give high priority within the SBIR and STTR programs to manufacturing-related research
and development (R&D). In response to this Executive Order, NIH is expanding its focus by encouraging eligible United States
small business concerns to submit SBIR Phase I, Phase II, and Fast-Track grant applications whose biomedical research is related
to advanced processing, manufacturing processes, equipment and systems, and manufacturing workforce skills and protection.
