==Region Specific Incubator Sources==
Many state and local governments contain information on incubators and accelerators that operate within their jurisdiction. They do not provide comprehensive sources on all incubators within the US but could be helpful as sources to cross-reference with a larger database.
The National Business Incubation Association maintains a list of [https://inbia.org/services/resources/ U.S. Incubation Associations]. We went through this list and evaluated each association as a potential data source. These sites generally contain a list of incubators that are working in collaboration with the NBIA and are within that specific state. The sites could be useful in cross-referencing data pulled from the NBIA main database as some of the incubators listed on the state specific websites are not in the main NBIA database. They could also be helpful in cross-referencing data pulled from other main databases as these sites have reliable links, are filtered to include only incubators, and have a relatively consistent format. However, the sites are limited in scope to a specific state/region and cannot be used as a sole data source. Additionally, many state/local governments have lists of incubators on their websites that could be useful for identifying local organizations within the region.
