These programs encourage small firms to undertake scientific research that helps meet federal research and development objectives and have high potential for commercialization if successful. Management and Technical Assistance SBA's 7(j) Management and Technical Assistance Program is for capable small businesses in Regions I - X interested in providing management and technical assistance and guidance to eligible small businesses.

What you need to know about small business grants • SBA does not provide grants for starting and expanding a business. • SBA provides grants to nonprofit, Resource Partners, and educational organizations that support entrepreneurship through counseling and training programs. • SBA only communicates from email addresses ending in @sba.gov. If you are being contacted by someone claiming to be from the SBA who is not using an official SBA email address, you should suspect fraud and report it.
