Financial Literacy and Education Commission
The Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established under Title V of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act of 2003 to improve the financial literacy and education of persons in the United States. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) wishes to bring financial literacy not only to America as a whole, but specifically to small businesses and future entrepreneurs. The commission was asked to develop a national financial education website (MyMoney.gov), along with a hotline (1-888-My Money) and a national strategy on financial education. It is chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury and comprises the heads of 22 federal entities, including SBA.

The Office of Advocacy (Advocacy) is pleased to announce a series of solicitations for small business research. Proposals are due by 7:30 AM Mountain time on Friday, July 29, 2016.
The Office of Advocacy’s mission includes providing research documenting the status of small businesses and the impact of important trends.

Areas of interest have been chosen because they are researchable, show the status or role of small businesses, can be a catalyst for further research, or may provide policymaking insight.
