Research Area 18: Technology Transfer Innovative Collaboration

AFRL/RW seeks novel, cutting-edge toolsets (algorithms, capabilities, and/or methodologies) related to Technology Transfer (T2), Technology Transition (TT), and/or Innovation/Collaboration (IC). T2 ensures federally funded intellectual property and research investments are transferred (intentionally shared) with state and local governments, academia, and industry through the use of T2 mechanisms, including, but not limited to: Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs), Patent License Agreements (PLAs), and Educational Partnership Agreements (EPAs). TT is the application and/or incorporation of matured technologies into military systems for operational use by the DoD.
