In order to facilitate the technology transfer efforts of the various federal laboratories, the Education and Training Committee of the FLC has developed this reference tool, which identifies a cross-section of technology transfer mechanisms used by federal agencies. The database identifies a wide variety of mechanisms, the agencies that use them, and links to agency websites where information about each agency's use of the mechanism and samples of mechanisms can be found.
The information is organized and searchable both by mechanism and by agency. By choosing from the appropriate drop down menu, you can search by agency/department or by mechanism. Or you can initiate a keyword search and look for all occurrences of the keyword in the mechanism name. (For example, if you search for the keyword "CRADA," you will find all of the mechanisms that have "CRADA" in their name.) If you select the Search Content box and enter a keyword, you will find not only all of the mechanisms with that keyword in their name, but you will also initiate a keyword search of the webpage(s) associated with that mechanism. If you wish, you can also view all mechanisms included in the Matrix.
