Abstract
Since 1983, 11 federal agencies have been spending an increasing share of their research budgets on a program to help small, high-tech businesses find a way to commercialize their ideas. Now the $1 billion program is under fire by academics—and being questioned by some legislators and federal officials, too—because the tax it imposes on existing programs is becoming a burden on R&D budgets that are no longer growing.Keywords
