- Description
- Instructions, conditions and notices to respondents. The U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy is responsible for examining the contributions and challenges of small businesses in the U.S. economy. Advocacy is constantly looking for answers to small business research questions and underwrites and supports research related to the role of entrepreneurship in the economy and the examination of various issues of relevance to small business owners. Of particular interest to the Office of Advocacy is the role of minority entrepreneurship in the small business economy. To this end, the Office of Advocacy seeks projects that increase the base of knowledge about minority entrepreneurship and minority business ownership in the small business economy. Additionally, the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy examines the role and status of small business in the economy and independently represents the views of small business to federal agencies, Congress, and the President. It is the source for small business statistics presented in user-friendly formats and it funds research into small business issues. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price type of award for a period of twelve months from award to completion.
