Doing Business with Argonne
Argonne's Office of Technology Transfer is the laboratory's main liaison
with outside research organizations for a variety of purposes, including:
- Cost-shared research and development
- Reimbursable R&D (Work-for-Others)
- Licensing
- Technical assistance
- Personnel exchange
These programs enhance the laboratory's research and development, meet
federal, national and international research needs, and increase the
worldwide competitiveness of U.S. industry. Through these programs, industrial
firms and other organizations – including federal, state and local governments
and academic institutions – benefit from Argonne's know-how and intellectual
property in cutting-edge technologies, often leveraging their own in-house
capabilities.

Export Control
Argonne's export control
Web site provides information and assistance in determining which,
if any, restrictions apply to the export of sensitive technologies.
While a significant portion of the laboratory's mission involves fundamental
research and the communication of announced and developed technologies,
Argonne also has an obligation to assure that particular sensitive
technologies, equipment and information subject to export control regulations
are exported in compliance with these regulations. In some instances,
this means that exports cannot be made to certain foreign nationals
or countries.
