Hmm i'm not quite sure if i grok all of this but CSR is a whole bunch of money given out to educational non-profits or businesses. Bush and co want to standardized education across the boad so they're demanding that the material you produce be consistent with guidelines from all 50 states. This costs money to format and only one person does (New American schools). Now when you say they own CSR models, is that like own as in a business patent?

And DOEd redefined small business so huge corps could get in this business?

Is this what you're saying? You're facing bigger competition w/o the being aligned with state standards?

Every Federal agency has an SBIR arm. The rule change applies to ALL SBIR programs.
