SERIES DESCRIPTION:
On April 7, 2010, Office of Science and Technology Policy of the White House released its inaugural Open Government Plan highlighting transparency, participation, and collaboration.
"Demystifying Working with the Federal Labs" is a lecture series launched by the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Federal Laboratory Consortium in order to render the technology transfer process at federal agencies more transparent, and to encourage collaborations with the federal labs. This lecture series aims to provide a platform for Federal Laboratories to educate academia, industry, and technology transfer professionals on different technology transfer mechanisms used at the federal labs. While some of the lectures will be an introduction to common technology transfer mechanisms, such as CRADAs and licenses, other lectures will focus on more specialized agreements that may be unique to a particular agency, such as NASA's Space Act agreements.
It is our hope that the series will encourage a dialogue between the federal laboratories and other stakeholders in the area of technology innovation. We hope to reach small businesses, large businesses, academia, economic development organizations, and technology transfer professionals.
THIS MONTH:
INTERSECTION OF CRADAs AND LICENSING -
FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF NCI AND NIST
Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 1:00 to 2:30 pm ET

The second lecture in the series will focus on Collaborative Research and Development Agreements and their interplay with licensing. Two seasoned technology transfer professionals will discuss the rights of the CRADA collaborator in the IP developped under the research plan.
