Pattern read

NLM is the smallest SBIR funder in the dataset (14 records / $8M). The portfolio is informatics-focused: health-services platforms, AI-driven medical-information tools, and adjacent work. Median award is $425K. Concentration is extreme at 50%. With only 14 awards, repeat winners account for half the dataset. NLM's SBIR footprint has historically been narrow and informatics-specific.

NIH SBIR/STTR funding decisions are made by Institutes and Centers based on portfolio priorities, NOFO scope, and program officer judgment. Historical funding patterns do not guarantee future funding.
