This bill aims to expand participation in I-Corps without a significant increase in funding.

Many scientists and engineers are struggling to acquire the necessary skills, and as a result, too many early stage companies are failing.

It has helped create new entrepreneurs and new tech jobs and is helping Federal taxpayers get the most out of their investment in research.

The I-Corps program offers valuable entrepreneurial education primarily to scientists and engineers who are college research faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.

I've been the leading advocate--putting it mildly--for the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps or I-Corps program since its inception.

Thank you Chairman Smith for holding today's bipartisan markup.

This bill seeks to expand participation in the National Science Foundation's highly successful I-Corps program.

The U.S. commercial space launch industry is really in a resurgence right now.

This bill recognizes the rocket propulsion work of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

Thank you, Chairman Smith, for holding today's bipartisan markup.

I'm happy to serve as the lead Democratic cosponsor of this small but very important research bill.

Low dose radiation research is a critical field that can provide important insights into the biological response of cells to low levels of ionizing radiation.

I want to thank you, and I want to concur with your comments and Ranking Member Johnson's comments.

I appreciate your leadership and support of the I-Corps program.

This training would be paid for out of the SBIR/STTR grants.

I've been an evangelist for I-Corps for the past 7 years.

I also--I mention my support for the next two bills that we are going to be considering.

Thank you for bringing forth these bipartisan bills today.

I'm willing to withdraw this amendment as long as the Chairman gives me his assurance that we will have a hearing on this topic.

The creation of I-Corps phase I and phase II could be a big boost to the goal of the SBIR program.

I urge the adoption of this amendment, which I think would be greatly helpful to the SBIR/STTR program and to American innovation.

These limitations stand in the way of scientists and engineers collaborating with businesses or investors to take their ideas to the next level.

This amendment was formerly introduced as the Technology and Research Accelerating National Security and Future Economic Resiliency, or TRANSFER Act.

This amendment would build on the SBIR/STTR program by requiring that funds be directed for a proof of concept partnership pilot program.

It lets small businesses use their funds where they know they're needed the most.
