(This amendment provides $3.7 million GF each year to support George Mason University (GMU) operations. The funding includes $3.0 million in base operations and $700,000 in support for Small Business Development Centers (SBDC). Sustained base funding allows GMU to attract and retain faculty and staff in the high-cost Northern Virginia region, and Virginia's SBDCs impact 26 centers that support critical workforce development, encourage entrepreneurs, and drive innovation to address economic challenges.)
