SBIR Phase I Awards, Proposals by State - FY12
Compiling SBIR Phase I awards and proposal statistics by state for FY12, SSTI finds the 10 states with the most awards in FY12 were California (724), Massachusetts (415), Virginia (207), Maryland (154), Ohio (138), Texas (138), New York (137), Colorado (129), Pennsylvania (124), and Florida (85). Maryland gained two spots rising to fourth place. Ohio and Texas tied for fifth place, while New York and Colorado both fell from their prior year positions.
Notably, total SBIR Phase I awards granted to small business entities in FY12 increased by 1.4 percent, while proposal numbers were down from 2011 across nearly all of the participating agencies. In FY12, agencies granted a total 3,314 awards, up from 3,268 in FY11. Overall, agencies that reported proposal statistics received 20,305 in FY12, a 12.8 percent decrease from the prior fiscal year.
Using figures provided by the individual federal agencies, SSTI has prepared a table showing FY12 Phase I SBIR data for all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Statistics include awards, proposals and award-to-proposal conversion rates for 10 of the 12 participating agencies (the Department of Education and the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declined to provide proposal statistics). The table is available at: http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/061213t.htm.
SSTI's FY01-12 SBIR statistics provide 12 years of data to evaluate award, proposal and conversion trends for most agencies and comparable states. Tables containing data for fiscal years 2000-11 are available at:
