Background/History of the Laboratory:
The Naval
Research Laboratory (NRL) has a broadly based
multi-disciplinary program of scientific research and
advanced technological development directed toward new and
improved materials, equipment, techniques, and systems, as
well as ocean, atmospheric and space sciences and related
technologies
Mission of the Laboratory:
As the Navy's
corporate laboratory, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
draws on the powerful resources of an interdisciplinary
combination of scientific expertise and modern facilities. It
is the mission of the Technology Transfer Office to
facilitate the implementation of the NRL's innovative
technologies in products and services to benefit the public.
To learn more about how NRL technologies are commercialized
or how your business can benefit from collaboration with some
of the world's most respected scientists, explore these
pages or contact any of the NRL Technology Transfer Office
staff members. Under the scope of a CRADA, NRL scientists
work with non- Federal parties to perform research and
development on subjects of mutual interest and benefit.
Often, such a cooperative research program will be associated
with a patent licensing agreement to adapt NRL's patented
techologies to a particular product or service. To learn more
about how to negotiate a CRADA with the NRL, or to read about
examples of some of NRL's current CRADAs, go to the
CRADAs page.
