Purpose: With the availability of the 2003 Survey of Small Business Finances by the Federal Reserve Board this summer, the Office of Advocacy seeks projects that use the databases (for years 1987, 1993, 1998, and 2003) to increase the state of knowledge about the availability and the uses of debt and equity capital by small business, and the government?s role and policies that affect small firms. Depending on technical merit, policy relevance and costs, the Office may award more than one contract in this topic area. NOTE: THIS PROCUREMENT IS A 100% SET A-SIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESS.

The proposal could start with a review of the literature, establish a set of hypotheses to be tested, describe the model and the data to test the model and then explain the results.
