Dollar value of financing resulting from clients served and direct client services by MBDA national network of Minority business centers, reported in billions. The business centers facilitate access to public and private sector procurement opportunities for minority business.

The formula-driven calculation projects investment data at 3, 6, and 9 year intervals from the investment award. The formula is based on a study done by Rutgers University, which compiled and analyzed the performance of EDA construction investments after 9 years. This approach was reviewed and validated by third-party analysis conducted by Grant Thornton in 2008. Based on this formula and a review of EDA's historical results, EDA estimates that 40% of the 9-year projection would be realized after 3 years, 75% after 6 years, and 100% after 9 years.

The number of new and existing minority business enterprises (MBE) assisted through an MBDA program. A MBE is a business enterprise that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially or economically disadvantaged individual; and the management and daily business operations of which are controlled by one or more socially or economically disadvantaged individuals.

Proposed new indicator for FY 2022. Measure is under development.

The indicator shows the overall growth, in petaflops (PF), of the operational and research and development High Performance Computing capability. Our current enterprise supplies 16PF to support modeling requirements across NOAA. Growth in capacity will lessen the gap in current modeling requirement and provide additional capability to the modeling community within NOAA.

This performance indicator measures the estimated number of jobs created and retained, by communities and regions, attributable to the EDA grant to support entrepreneurship

This performance indicator measures the estimated number of jobs created and retained attributable to EDA investments made in/to underserved communities and populations.
