Partnering Mechanisms

Through Technology Deployment, INL becomes far more cost-effective because it is able to leverage research, and technology development, while increasing the skills and capabilities for America's government and private businesses.

If you would like to license an INL technology, share in R&D, start or expand a business with INL technologies, or require business support our Technology Transfer team is available to discuss the following contractual mechanisms:

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) authorizes INL to provide personnel, facilities, equipment or other resources.
Licenses offers the opportunity to commercialize INL-developed technology.
Work For Others (WFO) agreements allow the use of INL's technologies, personnel, expertise and facilities.
