Abstract: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is the oldest and largest (in terms of public sector financial support) Institute within the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). To date, the research that the NCI sponsors in small firms has yet to be systematically studied. Using survey data collected by the National Research Council (NRC) within the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine from a random sample of Phase II research projects funded through the NCI’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, multiple dimensions of the economic and social outputs from those projects are considered in a descriptive manner. The outputs considered in this monograph relate to the legislated purposes of the SBIR program, namely to increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal research and development and to stimulate technological innovation.
