We offer empirical information on the correlates of commercialization activity for research projects funded through the US National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award program. Based on this analysis we suggest possible recommendations for improving this aspect of the performance of NIH's SBIR program. Specifically, we estimate a model of the probabili...

However, the analysis of an innovation system in the light of emerging technologies is a rather new phenomenon. Bartholomew (1997) and Senker (2001) have attempted to analyze such an innovation system for biotechnolo...
