A few other large firms in similar space are still expressing interest and may well opt to participate.
The bad news: At this point it will be too late to do more than post their areas of particular interest
The good news:
- They will be provided on-podium time and subsequent breakout space.
- Their interests overlaps those of the other particpating large firms so their being there will be a bonus for those small firms in the space
- They will be fully involved in the Awardee Nutshell presentation sessions
Abstracts 1983-current
Edited to a consistent, common form and format, this full indexed database permits an across- all-agency search of the available Abstracts of every award made by all SBIR participating agencies - menu driven and/or by keyword selection. Including all awards from 1982 to many of the most recently announced listings that factors to a database of over 85,000 records at this point with approximately 4000-5000 new records added each year as new awards are made.
A very important component of the Abstract Search is to identify the Agency Source. Therefore, the first screen after search indicators will show a Table, listing the number of Abstracts to your search criteria in each agency. From that point, you may select the agencies in turn and each Award Abstract as listed.
SBIR-STTR Awards:
Designed as a single, government-wide system tracking SBIR awards by company across all agencies, the system was instituted as a Relational Database almost as soon as those powerful, analytical tools became available in the mid-eighties. By this means, in various Congressional testimony and related political activity over many years, along with a full calendar of SBIR Participation presentations around the country before all types of audiences, we have been able to discuss in detail precisely
- how the program was being managed and used in the various participating agencies,
- which firms in what locations were getting how many awards, from which agencies, for how much money and with what sort of Phase II conversion rates and business outcome.
In addition to recipient Company data and Principal Investigator (both Phase I and Phase II if these are different), the awards entry record includes various information on the year(s) Phase I and Phase II, source (Agency and Department as relevant), full abstracts, dollar commitment at each stage and, in many cases, the relevant tracking number used by the agency re. that award. Single year commitments to a multi-year (Phase II) project - as in the National Institutes of Health and, sometimes in DOD - are logged individually by year and dollar amount. The full dollar allocation is then totalled out for the published award record.
