Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements (CRADA)
Sample CRADA Document:
Standard
Funds-In CRADA Agreement (PDF)
BNL is actively seeking opportunities to participate in cooperative research
and development programs with industry, university, and/or state and local
government participants. Such cooperative research programs are formalized by a
CRADA between the participants. Research work under a CRADA may be performed
at BNL, at the laboratory of the non-federal
participants(s), or at both institutions, and work is usually supported by
contributions from all participants in the CRADA. BNL contributions to the
CRADA can take the form of personnel, facilities, equipment, and other
resources, but BNL can not provide funds to the other participant(s). Non-federal
participant(s) contributions can take the form of funds, personnel, facilities,
equipment, and other resources. Funds to support BNL's participation can come
in part or in whole from the non-federal
participant, although usually part of BNL funding comes from federal funds.
A DOE Modular CRADA has been established to expedite the DOE approval process
and this Modular CRADA provides BNL and the non-federal participant flexibility
to negotiate rights to inventions and other intellectual property. CRADAs are
being enthusiastically supported by DOE as a means for U.S. industry to benefit
from the vast scientific and technological wealth of the DOE national
laboratories.
