The primary objective of the Office of Technology Partnerships (OTP) is to build and
sustain technology
partnering activities between the NIST laboratories and its mission-related organizations. OTP does
so
by managing various technology transfer programs; managing NIST's intellectual property; carrying out
assigned technology transfer functions under the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980
and the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986; performing industrial and intergovernmental liaison
activities; and strengthening NIST-wide awareness of technology transfer options and their
implications. The office assists NIST leadership with reviewing related policies and practices, and
propagating improvements in research and development relationships throughout NIST.
OTP also manages the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program .
