Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The rules of this Chapter have been
			 adopted for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the Administrative
			 Procedures Act, 75 O.S., Sections 250 et seq. The OCAST SBIR Matching Funds
			 Program has been created as a matching support program which meets the highest
			 current standards for state matching support to federal SBIR program grants, 74
			 O.S., Section 5060.19(D). The primary goal of the program is to increase the
			 potential for bringing more federal dollars into Oklahoma to fund
			 private-sector research through increased submission of SBIR Phase II
			 proposals. The providing of matching funds from the State will:
(1) act as an incentive to firms to apply for
			 a federal SBIR Phase II award, and
(2) assist qualifying firms to sustain their
			 research and operations during the "funding gap" that occurs between the end of
			 Phase I and the notification on Phase II.
