| Description: | Program Announcement No. OSBDC-2010-03. U.S. Small Business Administration / Office of Small Business Development Centers (OSBDC) OPENING DATE: September 30, 2009 CLOSING DATE: October 29, 2009 The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) plans to issue Program Announcement No.OSBDC-2010-03 to invite applications to renew funding for existing recipient organizations currently funded under the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) program as authorized by Section 21 of the Small Business Act, (15 USC Section 648). Applicants will be required to A) develop a marketing plan to promote awareness of the services of the center available to veterans, a marketing campaign targeted toward veterans, service-disabled veterans, military units, Federal agencies, and veterans organizations; B) use technology-assisted online counseling and distance learning technology to overcome the impediments to entrepreneurship faced by veterans and members of the Armed Forces; and C) increase coordination among organizations that assist veterans, including by establishing virtual integration of service providers and offerings for a one-stop point of contact for veterans who are entrepreneurs or owners of small business concerns. The SBDC program is the SBAs largest matching grant-funded service delivery network providing high quality business and economic development assistance to small businesses and nascent entrepreneurs in order to promote growth, expansion, innovation, increased productivity and management improvement. The SBDCs, in partnership with SBAs Office of Small Business Development Centers (OSBDC) and SBA District Offices, develop programs and provide business management and other services that enhance the economic development goals and objectives of SBA and their other respective state and local funding partners. The SBDC program is a broad-based system of assistance for the small business community that links the resources of Federal, state, and local governments with those of the educational community and the private sector. Although SBA is responsible for the general management and oversight of the SBDC program, a partnership exists between SBA and the recipient organization to effectuate the delivery of assistance to the small business community.
