## Abstract

The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) is amending its regulations relating to the administration of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants Program, which prescribe the procedures to be followed annually in the solicitation of research grant proposals, the evaluation of such proposals, and the award of competitive research grants under this program. This rule amends those regulations by identifying information that will be specified in the annual solicitation as opposed to this rule. CSREES is republishing these regulations in their entirety with the proposed amendments in order to enhance their use by the public and to ensure expeditious submission and processing of grant proposals.
