What the document says
“ensure, in collaboration with SBIR program managers of each component, that research programs identified under subparagraph (A) are analyzed within the programming and budgeting process as budget requests are developed;”
Subsection (b)(1) rewrites paragraph (2) of subsection (y) of section 9 of the Small Business Act. The existing duty to identify research programs becomes subparagraph (A), and this Act inserts into it a reference to firms holding an award from the strategic breakthrough allocation. New subparagraph (B) adds a further duty: to ensure, working with the SBIR program managers of each component, that the research programs identified under subparagraph (A) are analyzed within the programming and budgeting process as budget requests are developed.
What the document actually says
“ensure, in collaboration with SBIR program managers of each component, that research programs identified under subparagraph (A) are analyzed within the programming and budgeting process as budget requests are developed;”
That sentence, in plain words
The picked research must be looked at when budgets are drawn up. The work is done with the program staff in each part of the agency.
What this is about
This part of the older law is about turning research into things the agency buys. The change ties that work to the budget.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
