Cooperative R&D Agreements (CRADAs) allow one or more partners to collaborate on ideas,
share costs, and pool the results of a particular R&D program to bring a specific technology to
the marketplace. ORNL has participated in more than 270 CRADAs, including more than 100
with small businesses.
License agreements give industry access to ORNL-developed inventions and technologies.
ORNL has executed more than 220 license agreements and commercial sales resulting from
these agreements exceed $184 million.
Personnel exchanges can take ORNL employees to other locations, or, may bring outside
researchers to the Laboratory to enhance technical capabilities and support research in specific
areas.
Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
programs provide partnership opportunities for qualified small firms. ORNL's Small Business
Program Office builds awareness of cooperative research and technical assistance opportunities
available to small and medium-sized firms and promotes partnerships under the STTR Program.
Technical assistance provides a way for ORNL researchers to respond to inquiries from
individuals or organizations seeking to further knowledge, solve a specific problem, or improve a
process or product.
User facility agreements provide access to ORNL's 14 designated user facilities, stipulating
terms and conditions for the conduct of research by qualified users from universities, industry, or
other institutions. Both proprietary and nonproprietary research can be conducted. The diversity
of ORNL's resources in science and technology is represented by these facilities:
" Bioprocessing Research Facility
" Buildings Technology Center
" Californium User Facility for Neutron Science
" Computational Center for Industrial Innovation
" High Flux Isotope Reactor
" High Temperature Materials Laboratory
" Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility
" Metals Processing Laboratory User Center
" Metrology R&D Laboratory
" Mouse Genetics Research Facility
" Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator
" Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park
" Shared Research Equipment Program
" Surface Modification and Characterization Research Center
Capabilities for remote operation of some facilities are broadening access to researchers at other
institutions. More information on ORNL's user facilities is available on the Internet at
