A 2010 BioEnterprise report on the Ohio life science industry showed that bio organizations had a $61.6 billion economic impact on Ohio in 2009. The bioscience sector accounted for 195,835 total jobs that year and produced nearly $7.7 billion in household income. Ohio-based research institutions received $778.1 million in NIH funding in 2010, a figure that far exceeds the U.S. national average of $497.3 million. The University of Cincinnati in particular was ranked among the top 100 NIH-funded institutions in the country.
Small Business Innovative Research and Small Business Technology Transfer funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration indicates that Ohio small business received $70 million in funding in 2009, which is significantly more than the national average of $41.2 million. Nearly $25 million was given as bioscience R&D. This figure reflected a growth of $21 million from 2008. In 2010, $2.4 billion was invested across Ohio to increase bioscience growth.
A 2013 BioEnterprise report shows that Cincinnati in particular received $42 million in healthcare venture investment during the first half of 2013. Ohio is leading the way in 2013 for Midwest healthcare venture investment with companies attracting $155 million so far this year.
