Defense and NIH Pick SBIR Phase I Awards
SSTI thanks Chris Busch, Director of the Wyoming SBIR Initiative, for forwarding the NIH information to us, and to BRTRC's Christine Villa for providing the Defense stats.
The Department of Defense has posted the abstracts for 370 projects selected to receive Phase I funding under the 99.2 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program solicitation. The awards, selected from a total of 2,778 proposals, were distributed to companies in 31 states. The accompanying table http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/020400t.htm presents the distribution of proposals and awards by state. Abstracts for each 99.2 Phase I award may be found at: http://www.sbirsttr.com/ The department's first 2000 SBIR Phase I solicitation is currently open; proposals are due March 1. More information on this opportunity may be found at: http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir/00/dod_sttr00.htm .
The National Institutes of Health has compiled state statistics for the 1999 SBIR and STTR solicitations. Figures are provided for both Phase I and Phase II competitions.
