USDA’s Agricultural Research Service conducts research to develop and transfer
solutions to
agricultural problems of high national priority. It has a rich history of transferring its research
efforts to
U.S. farmers and consumers, ensuring a strong agricultural economy, and keeping America healthy
and its natural resources and environment thriving. In fact, the Federal Technology Transfer Act of
1986
greatly impacted how the federal government conducts business, allowing federal laboratories and
industry the chance to partner to further research and development and commercialize new products.
The Office of Technology Transfer facilitates and coordinates these partnerships formed around various
cooperative agreements.
