This pilot study will examine the impact of federally-funded research on the formation, survival, and growth of biotechnology firms over a 26-year period. Specifically, the effects of the geographic distribution of science funding relative to the local area characteristics that affect the transfer of academic expertise to commercial activity will be investigated. In addition, the role of NIH-funded researchers as founders, officers, and collaborators in biotechnology start-ups will be studied. Methodologies will be developed that facilitate the linkage between NIH data and commercial applications. Finally, a detailed analysis will be conducted of the field of science and commercial applications by institution, city, and state as recorded in the NIH Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP) data base. The research will enhance our understanding of technology transfer processes and of the diffusion of scientific information. In addition, the results will be of significant interest to policy makers and to the business community.

这项试点研究将研究联邦资助的研究对26年期生物技术公司的形成，生存和增长的影响。 具体而言，将研究影响学术专业知识转移到商业活动的地方特征的科学资金的地理分布的影响。 此外，将研究由NIH资助的研究人员作为生物技术初创企业的创始人，官员和合作者的角色。 将开发方法，以促进NIH数据与商业应用之间的联系。 最后，根据NIH计算机化的科学项目（CRISP）数据库的计算机检索，将对机构，城市和州进行科学和商业应用领域的详细分析。 这项研究将增强我们对技术转移过程和科学信息传播的理解。 此外，结果将引起政策制定者和商业界的重大兴趣。
