Useful Stats: SBIR Phase I Awards, Proposals by State - FY 2008
Compiling SBIR Phase I award and proposal statistics by state for fiscal year 2008, SSTI finds the 10 states with the most awards in FY 2008 were California (688), Massachusetts (476), Virginia (224), New York (195), Colorado (182), Maryland (156), Texas (140), Pennsylvania (129), Ohio (120) and Florida (102). Compared to the top states for FY07, New York moved into the fourth position from sixth place last year and Pennsylvania had slightly more awards than Ohio, moving Pennsylvania up one position from last year and pushing Ohio down to ninth.
Using figures provided by the individual federal agencies, SSTI has prepared a table showing FY08 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/060309t.htm. SSTI's FY01-08 SBIR statistics provide eight years of data to evaluate award, proposal and conversion trends for most agencies and comparable states.
