DOD Entrepreneurial Innovation Act

This bill would require the Secretary of each military department to designate at least five small business research programs each year as Entrepreneurial Innovation Projects. Eligible programs are those doing Phase III work under the Small Business Innovation Research or Small Business Technology Transfer programs. Each designated program's estimated spending would be included in the Department of Defense's next five-year budget plan and listed separately in budget proposals. Each military department would set up a five-member advisory panel, including three private sector members, within 120 days to recommend programs. The Secretary of Defense would report to Congress each year on the progress of designated programs.
