Subject
Summary:

The goal of the Pilot Technology Access Program was to establish special technology assistance centers to deliver counseling, training, and research assistance to small businesses. A March 1994 GAO report (GAO/RCED-94-75) discussed the program's implementation and progress during the first two years. Shortly after that report was issued, Congress decided not to fund the program beyond fiscal year 1995, its fourth year. This second and final report on the program discusses the status of the program centers during the fourth and final year of federal funding and also provides GAO's observations on lessons learned during the pilot. GAO believes that these observations could be beneficial if Congress reconsiders such a program in the future.
