Government Studies & Small Business Research

The Small Business Opportunity Center is built upon a robust foundation of academic research and evidence-based practice. Our research-driven approach ensures that every program, initiative, and resource we provide is grounded in proven methodologies and data-driven insights.

To this end, we seek to develop research and government studies that propel the field of entrepreneurship, positively impact small businesses, and inform the development of programs by government agencies and non-profits that best support under-resourced entrepreneurs.

Our affiliated faculty have produced a number of relevant small business and entrepreneurship studies listed below.
