About this program
The Small Business Administration operates the Growth Accelerator Fund Competition (CFDA 59.065) to provide focused business development assistance to STEM and research-and-development entrepreneurs launching and scaling early-stage ventures. The program's most recent grant opportunity, SB-OIIGA-26-001 (Supply Chain Acceleration and Logistics Enablement, or SCALE), closed August 13, 2026.
The SCALE opportunity solicited grants from a broad applicant base—501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal organizations, city and county governments, for-profit organizations, and public and private higher education institutions—to support small businesses overcoming operational, technical, workforce, and market-access barriers within strategically important supply chains. Funded activities include technical assistance, industry engagement, and implementation-focused support to help small-business suppliers address supply-chain constraints, strengthen production capability, and expand participation in priority supply chains. The solicitation covered agriculture, business and commerce, energy, science and technology, and transportation sectors.
The source does not report recent grant awards, award magnitudes, funding concentration data, or historical award cadence for the underlying Growth Accelerator Fund Competition program. The SCALE opportunity closed in August 2026, placing it outside the current open-solicitation window. An SBA-hosted webinar on the SCALE NOFO was scheduled for July 14, 2026, with a recording subsequently available in the SBA Box folder referenced in the opportunity description.
Without access to the grant award portfolio block detailing federal dollars obligated, assistance-type mix, typical award sizes, or recent recipient activity under CFDA 59.065, current pursuit decisions cannot be grounded in the program's demonstrated funding patterns or recent competitive environment. Organizations interested in STEM/R&D entrepreneurship support and small-business acceleration should monitor SBA's synopsis page for the next Growth Accelerator funding cycle announcement.
