Section 9(hh) of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 638(hh) ) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this paragraph, the Director of the National Institutes of Health shall establish a pilot program to reduce the time for awards under the SBIR and STTR programs of the National Institutes of Health. In carrying out the pilot program under subparagraph (A), the Director shall develop simplified and standardized procedures across all relevant awarding offices at the National Institutes of Health and reduce the amount of time between the provision of notice of such awards and the subsequent release of funding with respect to the awards to be as close to 90 days as possible.
Under the pilot program under subparagraph (A), the Director of the National Institutes of Health may, with respect to awards under the SBIR and STTR programs of the National Institutes of Health, use such peer review procedures (including consultation with appropriate scientific experts) as the Director determines to be appropriate to obtain assessments of scientific and technical merit and potential for commercialization. The use of peer review procedures under clause
(i)shall be deemed to fulfill any requirements applicable to the award under the SBIR or STTR program of the National Institutes of Health under sections 406(a)(3)(A) and 492 of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 284a(a)(3)(A) ; 289a). The pilot program under subparagraph
(A)shall terminate on September 30, 2030. .

(3)of section 9(hh) of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 638(hh) ), as added by subsection (a), including an analysis of the peer review procedures used under subparagraph
(C)of such paragraph and the effects on award times.
