Useful Stats: SBIR Awards, Proposals by State, FY 2005
Nineteen states that applied for assistance under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program in fiscal year 2005 saw an award-to-proposal conversion rate greater than the national average of 16.4 percent. Of those states, five experienced rates of greater than 20 percent - Nebraska (29%), Maine (27.3%), District of Columbia (25%), Montana (21.8%), and Washington (20%).
The top 10 states with the most awards in FY 2005 were California (816), Massachusetts (508), Virginia (242), Colorado (205), Maryland (204), Texas (198), Ohio (191), New York (186), Pennsylvania (176) and Michigan (111).
SSTI has compiled a table that presents this FY 2005 Phase I SBIR data for all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Statistics show awards, proposals and award-to-proposal conversion rates from 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/022607t.htm
SSTI’s FY01-05 SBIR statistics provide states with five years of data to evaluate award, proposal and conversion trends for most agencies and comparable states. Tables containing data for fiscal years 2001-2004 are available at:
