Plain-English Summary

Small businesses would receive vouchers they could use to pay for help with research, development, and commercialization services from universities, research institutions, and private consultants. The vouchers would reduce the financial barrier for startups and small companies to access expertise and resources they might otherwise be unable to afford. This program aims to help small businesses innovate and bring new products and services to market more quickly.
