Small Business Innovation Voucher Act of 2026

This bill would require the Small Business Administration to set up an Innovation Voucher Grant Program within 180 days. Under the program, small businesses could compete for grants to help pay for technical help and services bought from universities, nonprofit research labs, or federally funded research centers to develop or commercialize new products and services. Grants would range from $15,000 to $75,000, with the federal government paying up to 75 percent of costs for grants under $50,000 and up to 50 percent for larger grants. Grant recipients and the agency would have to submit reports, and the bill authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
