A $5 million grant program from the SBA aims to provide training, guidance, counseling, mentoring and procurement assistance to small businesses.
The Small Business Teaming Pilot program was established by Congress under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. Under the program, the SBA said it expects to make 10 to 20 grant awards in the range of $250,000 to $500,000 totaling up to $5 million for fiscal year 2011.
The SBA said it is accepting grant funding proposals from eligible and well-established national organizations to work in a team arrangement with small businesses, which may be in the form of a joint venture or prime and subcontractor relationship.
