Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide more help to small businesses and startups applying for research and development grants through two existing programs that fund innovative companies. These grants, which currently go to thousands of small firms each year, would become easier to access if applicants receive better guidance and support during the application process. The change would primarily benefit small business owners and entrepreneurs trying to secure federal funding for new technology and scientific research.
