Compiling SBIR Phase I awards and proposal statistics by state for FY09, SSTI finds the 10 states with the most awards in FY09 were California (853), Massachusetts (526), Virginia (239), New York (213), Maryland (209), Colorado (198), Texas (172), Ohio (168), Pennsylvania (154), and Florida (109). Compared to the top states for FY08, Maryland moved up one position to fifth place, swapping places with Colorado, which dropped to sixth place. Ohio edged out Pennsylvania to move up one spot into eighth position, pushing Pennsylvania down one spot from last year to ninth place.

Using figures provided by the individual federal agencies, SSTI has prepared a table showing FY09 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/051910t.htm.

SSTI's FY01-09 SBIR statistics provide nine years of data to evaluate award, proposal and conversion trends for most agencies and comparable states. Tables containing data for fiscal years 2000-08 are available at:
