to analyze business operations in comparison to similar firms, compute market share, and assess business growth and future prospects. Estimates produced on R&D and innovation may be used to compare R&D costs across industries, determine where R&D
activity is conducted geographically, and identify the types of businesses with R&D; to contribute to the Bureau of Economic Analysis BEA system of national accounts; to increase investments in research and development, strengthen education, and encourage entrepreneurship; and to compare business innovation in the United States to other countries, including those in the European Union.
Results of the research activities data collected from nonprofit organizations will be used to report updated, valid, and reliable estimates of U.S. nonprofit R&D in National Patterns of R&D
Resources and BEAs system of national accounts.
The data collected by ABS will also be incorporated into the National Science Boards biennial report, Science and Engineering Indicators SEI. The R&D data from the nonprofit module will be reported in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD periodic publications and for international comparisons of R&D efforts. NCSES also anticipates professional associations will use data from the nonprofit module. Likely users in this category include, but are not limited to, the Science Philanthropy Alliance, the Association of Independent Research Institutes, and the Health Research Alliance.

The Small Business Administration SBA and the Minority Business Development Agency MBDA to assess
business assistance needs and allocate available program resources.
