Summary:

Cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs) are one of several mechanisms that federal laboratories use to transfer technology to the private sector. Under a CRADA, federal laboratories and collaborators agree to share resources as they conduct research and development. The CRADA defines the terms and conditions for the collaboration, including who will own, use, and commercialize a technology. This testimony compares the Department of Energy's implementation of CRADAs with the approaches used by the Army and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology.
