Useful Stats III: DHS SBIR Phase I Awards, Proposals by State
On Feb. 12, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the first round of Phase I awards under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program competition. Administered by the Homeland Security Advanced Research Project Agency (HSARPA), the DHS SBIR 2004.1 solicitation selection process took only three months — quick by most SBIR standards. HSARPA selected 66 winning projects across 23 states from 368 proposals. Each awardee will receive a maximum of $100,000 to complete a six-month feasibility or proof-of-concept study.
Jonetta Fantroy, a management analyst with HSARPA, provided SSTI statistics for the distribution by state for the proposals received and awards made. The table is available at: http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/031904t.htm
A list of DHS's first class of SBIR Phase I recipients, including their proposal titles, is available at: http://www.dhs.gov/interweb/assetlibrary/HSARPA_SBIR_Firms_Selected_Negotiation_021104.pdf
The DHS HSARPA SBIR 2004.2 solicitation is anticipated for release on or about May 1, 2004. More information will be available at: http://www.hsarpasbir.com/
