NASA's Strategic Plan calls for "development of portions of NASA's technology and capability portfolio by partnering with…the commercial, academic, and other external sectors…to expand the Agency's ability to identify new technologies and new technology sources…and gain access to a wider variety of technologies than the Agency could develop in-house." Consistent with the Plan, IPP engages a broad spectrum of entities from these sectors for the purposes of identifying and facilitating opportunities for partnering to develop dual use technologies, which provide technology alternatives for NASA's Mission Directorates. The technologies developed through partnerships are targeted to fill in gaps in Mission Directorate portfolios that are a consequence of diminished budget resources. Therefore, IPP acts as a catalyst for leveraging limited NASA resources with outside partner resources to provide a wide range of technologies important to NASA's missions. As a byproduct, IPP also provides all US citizens and entities with the opportunity to contribute to NASA's exploration mission. IPP typically facilitates over 200 new partnerships with the private and other external sectors each year.
Activity Measures Report on NASA's CRADA
NASA provides an accumulative look at the number of Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) collaborations. Click here for a retrospective snapshot of activity in comparison to the past five fiscal years.
A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is defined as a written agreement between a private company and a government agency for the sole purpose of collaborating together on a project.
CRADA allows the federal government, together with non-federal partners, to optimize their resources, share technical expertise in a protected environment, share intellectual property which emerges from the effort, and expedite the commercialization of federally developed technology. Due to CRADA, NASA can share patents and patent licenses, as well as provide provisions for a partner to retain exclusive rights to a patent or a patent license.
