Collaborating with organizations outside the NIH can bring numerous benefits to your laboratory. For example, under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), your laboratory may have access to personnel, services, facilities, and equipment that are not available at NIH. Being involved in a CRADA project also allows you to continue to influence the direction of the research, as you and leading industrial scientists take your laboratory findings the next step closer to commercialization.
TTC negotiates for you the following collaborative agreements:
It’s easy to obtain TTC’s services. A small team of TTC staff members has been assigned to your laboratory to handle all your negotiation and intellectual property needs.

The staff members assigned to your lab will provide advice and guidance, negotiate agreements for you, answer questions and keep you informed throughout the process so that your time is spent on research and not on paperwork.
