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. ==Source: [http://asbdc.org/start-ups/incubators-in-alabama/ Alabama Business Incubation Network]==# Opened source link# Counted incubators listed on the home page and found information for 12 incubators# Data:* Incubator Name, Brief Description, and a link to the home page'''Review'''* Provides reliable links to incubators within Alabama* Benefit: data is filtered to include only incubators* Limitation: only incubators within Alabama==Source: http://www.fbiaonline.org/Incubators/incubators.htmFlorida Business Incubation Association (FBIA)==
