Significance of NIH funding for small businesses

Albert N. Link () and Alan C. OʼConnor ()

Chapter 9 in Small Business Innovation in the Public Interest, 2025, pp 123-130 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores the counterfactual condition that the funded firm would have pursued the same Phase II research project even in the absence of SBIR financial support. The counterfactual responses are related to firm size as measured in terms of number of employees, the likelihood of commercialization, and the characteristics of the resulting counterfactual Phase II project.
