Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982, as amended, mandates 
that each Federal agency with an annual extramural budget for research 
or research and development in excess of $100 million participate in a 
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program by reserving a 
statutory percentage of its annual extramural budget for award to small 
business concerns for research or research and development in order to 
stimulate technological innovation, use small business to meet Federal 
research and development needs, increase private sector 
commercialization of innovations derived from Federal research and 
development, and foster and encourage the participation of socially and 
economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned small 
business concerns in technological innovation. The U.S. Department of 
Agriculture (USDA) will participate in this program through the issuance 
of competitive research grants which will be administered by the Office 
of Competitive Research Grants and Awards Management, Cooperative State 
Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES).
    (b) The regulations of this part do not apply to research grants 
awarded by the Department of Agriculture under any other authority.
