Abstract |
The Council of Inspectors General for Integrity and Additional Certifications to Reduce Risk Efficiency (CIGIE) suggested a series of certifications be included in Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) awards government-wide. The Office of Inspector General reviewed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SBIR solicitations and contracts to determine whether EPA included those certifications. The SBIR program provides incentive funding to small businesses to translate their innovative ideas into commercial products that address environmental problems. |
