The Office of Advocacy is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for economic research related to the economic impacts of the pandemic. The solicitation is available on SAM.gov. Proposal submissions are open until Thursday, August 19.
As an independent office within the Small Business Administration that evaluates policy analysis of small business impacts, disseminates small business statistics, and conducts research on small business issues, Advocacy’s mission includes researching the status and contributions of U.S. small businesses in the economy. To fulfill this task, Advocacy periodically funds research through the federal contracting process to produce reports that document the status of small businesses, increase knowledge and understanding of small business economic issues, and provide policymaking insight. For more information on Advocacy’s past research projects, view our library of Economic Studies.
