Footnotes
*DOD does not track the date a company is notified of an award.
**NIH does not track the date a company is notified of an award. The duration between notification and first day of period of performance can range from a week to several months. Long delays (i.e. > 60 days) are usually due to the delay in the NIH budget each fiscal year.
