Useful Stats: SBIR Awards, Proposals by State for FY 2002
During the course of each year, SSTI collects Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award and proposal data as it becomes publicly available. For FY 2002, SSTI has aggregated Phase I award, proposal and award-to-proposal conversion percentages for all 50 states and the District of Columbia for eight of the 10 participating agencies. (The Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency were unable to provide proposal statistics.)
The Phase I award-to-proposal percentages vary greatly across the eight agencies reporting complete information:
Percentage Federal Agency 28.1 National Institutes of Health 23.6 Dept. of Energy 19.2 Dept. of Agriculture 19.1 National Science Foundation 16.8 Dept. of Defense 15.3 Dept. of Commerce 12.1 NASA 6.4 Dept. of Transportation
In addition, Phase II award information has been compiled and aggregated for nine participating agencies. NASA will announce its FY 2002 Phase II SBIR selections by Oct. 6, 2003.
