Useful Stats: DOT SBIR Phase I Awards Statistics by State
Each year, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is one of the most competitive for companies seeking federal research funding. The FY 2002 Phase I solicitation proved to be no different as the agency made only 12 award recommendations from the pool of 202 proposals submitted — an award percentage of only 5.94 percent.
Joe Henebury, DOT SBIR Program Manager, provided the 2002 award and proposal statistics by state to the Idaho SBIR Competition News, an e-publication of the SBIR outreach activity conducted by the National Science Foundation-Idaho EPSCoR Project. Dr. Chris Busch, serving as consultant to the University of Idaho EPSCoR Program, prepares the bi-weekly e-newsletter. As a service to our readers, SSTI has re-published as a webpage the statistical table included in the November 8 issue of the Idaho SBIR Competition News. Presenting the number of proposals submitted, awards received and conversion percentage by state, the chart is available at: http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/111502t2.htm
Idaho small businesses or other parties interested in being added to the distribution list for the Idaho SBIR Competition News should send an email message with their name, address, phone number and email address to Ms. Gina Taruscio, University of Idaho, Business Technology Incubator, Moscow. Ms. Taruscio's email address is ginat@uidaho.edu.
