A bill to increase funding for the Small Business Innovation Research Program, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Small Business Act to increase the 1993 and subsequent fiscal year amounts to be expended in connection with a small business innovative research (SBIR) program by each Federal agency that has an extramural budget for research or research and development (R&D) in excess of $100,000,000. Makes such amount equivalent to 1.25 percent of such R&D budget for FY 1993 and increases such amount for each fiscal year thereafter up to a maximum of 3.0 percent of such R&D budget for FY 1997 and thereafter. Reserves all of such amounts in excess of 1.25 percent of such R&D budget for an SBIR program involving R&D of specified critical technologies. Requires each qualifying Federal agency, in expending such R&D amounts, to give a preference to such critical technology projects. Provides limitations with respect to non-SBIR and Department of Energy defense programs.
