6. Research Partnerships at BNL • Partnering Mechanisms • Small Business Partnering Programs • Partnering for Growth • BNL Partnering Resources

7. Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) • A CRADA is a collaborative agreement that allows BNL and non-federal partners to optimize their resources, share technical expertise, access intellectual property, and advance the commercialization of federally developed technologies. • Cooperative research program with both BNL and non-federal partner having specific roles and responsibilities detailed in a Statement of Work. • Parties are obligated to protect each other’s Proprietary Information, and research results may be designated as Protected CRADA Information which cannot be publically released for 5 years. • Each Party retains title to its own inventions. Partner has option to negotiate an exclusive license to BNL CRADA inventions in a specified field of use.

8. Work for Others (WFO) Agreement (Non-Federal) • A WFO Agreement is a fee-for-service contract that enables non-federal sponsors to pay BNL to perform a defined scope of work or tasks that draw upon BNL’s unique facilities, equipment, and personnel. • WFO Agreements are “best efforts” contracts • WFO Agreements are full cost reimbursement contracts. Advance payment is required. • Right to inventions are specified. • DOE review and approval will confirm that WFO project is complementary to DOE missions, will not negatively impact BNL programs, will not place BNL in competition with private sector, and will not create a detrimental future burden on DOE resources.

9. Agreements to Commercialize Technology (ACT) • ACT is a pilot program at BNL which enables BSA to conduct privately-sponsored research for non-federal sponsors at BSA risk. • ACT will support a wider range of BNL’s partnerships as BSA can negotiate business-appropriate terms with sponsors in more flexible agreements. • BSA may accept certain risk under ACT agreements, such as payment terms, project deliverables, performance guarantees, indemnification, advance payments, etc. BSA may negotiate a fee beyond the direct cost of work at BNL to compensate for additional risk assumed. • DOE approves ACT proposal and related documentation, but does not review and approve ACT agreements.

10. Small Business Partnering Opportunities • Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) programs are highly competitive opportunities for domestic small business to participate in the Federal R&D arena and realize commercial potential for new technologies. • DOE SBIR/STTR grants for Phase I proposals (technical merit, feasibility) normally do not exceed $150K for 6-9 month project, and Phase II proposals (R&D program) do not exceed $1,000,000 over 2 years. Success in Phase I leads to Phase II funding opportunity. • BNL has been successful in partnering with small business on SBIR and STTR proposals. • SBIR encourages, but does not require Small business to partner with research institution such as BNL. Small business may subcontract no more than 33% of Phase I grant and 50% of Phase II grant. • STTR requires small business to partner with research institution and small business must subcontract 30-60% of grant.
