    Abstract
    Congress designed the Small Business Innovative Research program (SBIR) to facilitate small business participation in federally funded research and development. The apparent lack of success of Kansas small businesses in getting SBIR funding concerns many people involved in developing Kansas's technological infrastructure, including the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation (KTEC). At KTEC's behest, we explored two basic questions about the performance of Kansas small businesses in the SBIR program:

    (1) Why do Kansas firms not obtain more SBIR grants?

    (2) How could the number of awards to Kansas firms be increased?

    These questions were answered in two parts. First SBIR success was characterized at three levels: regional success, firm success, and state success. Then the performance of Kansas firms in the SBIR program was investigated. The report concludes with a series of policy suggestions.
