CRADAs foster mutually beneficial partnerships to facilitate cutting-edge research and development for ultimate commercialization.
A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is a legal document that permits the transfer of Sandia National Laboratories’ technologies, processes, research and development capabilities, and technical know-how to the private sector. Such technology transfer is authorized by the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980.
Sandia and the Department of Energy (DOE) benefit from collaborative research supporting DOE missions and program objectives. The Participant benefits from access to Sandia’s unique technologies, capabilities and expertise. What distinguishes a CRADA from other partnership mechanisms is the collaborative nature of the work. Through a CRADA you and Sandia will work together as partners. For guidance contact CRADA@sandia.gov.

Sandia teams with industry to improve human-data interaction
Intelligence analysts working to identify national security threats in warzones or airports or elsewhere often flip through multiple images to create a video-like effect. They also may toggle between images at lightning speed, pan across images, zoom in and out or view videos or other moving records. Read more....
CRADA boom sets records, forges ties at Sandia Labs
Sandia National Laboratories entered into a vast array of new Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) in the past three years, bringing dozens of new partners to the labs. “This is a great mechanism for getting national laboratory technology into the private sector,” said Sandia CRADA specialist Jason Martinez. “We develop cutting-edge technology and capabilities with underlying science that is phenomenal. The CRADA is a vehicle to take that work and benefit the U.S. economy.” Read more....
