Nominations Sought for Annual SBIR Award
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking nominations for the fourth annual Tibbetts Awards. Named after Rowland Tibbetts, who established the first Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program at the National Science Foundation more than 20 years ago, the award recognizes outstanding contributions of small firms, projects, organizations and individuals involved in SBIR.
More than 200 people and companies have received the award since it was first initiated in 1996. Awardees are recognized at an event in Washington each fall.
The SBA attempts to make at least one Tibbetts Award in every state each year. Nominations are due July 15, 1999.
Nomination forms may be obtained from the SBA SBIR website: http://www.sba.gov/sbir/
