This legislation directs the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to enter into an agreement for collaborative research and development activities. These joint efforts are intended to advance the mission requirements and priorities of both agencies, with a specific focus on integrating small business concerns into the R&D process. The bill allows for reimbursable agreements and collaboration with other federal agencies to maximize the effectiveness of these activities. Within two years, the DOE and SBA must submit a comprehensive report to Congress detailing their coordination, collaborative achievements, and potential for future expansion. All activities must adhere to established research security guidelines, and no additional appropriations are authorized for this Act.
