The Laboratory's multdscplnary programs, staff, and unque research facltes have fostered a worldwde reputaton. BNL shares the use of such facltes, beyond the scope of most ndvdual nsttutons, wth scentsts from other academc and ndustral laboratores. Snce ts establshment n 1946, BNL has mantaned a strong polcy of cooperatve research. Large numbers of vstng scentsts, prmarly from unverstes, use the Laboratory's largescale facltes to do research not possble at less well-equpped ndvdual nsttutuons. BNL also encourages ncreased nteracton wth ndustry n the applcatons of new knowledge. 2 1,',',..... _.,,, -.-.,, ',,..,., /,,, -..,)..,., _ j. _._. :"

6 c,! u 1 WHAT S TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER? The Offce of Technology Transfer s frmly commtted to technology transfer - to the utlzaton of Laboratory developed technology to the beneft of ndustry and state and local governments. Such technology utlzaton can be accomplshed n a varety of ways. Brookhaven encourages exchanges of personnel between the Laboratory and ndustry, as well as cost shared cooperatve research efforts wth ndustry. ndustry sponsored research and ndustry use of Brookhaven's desgnated user facltes provde access to the Laboratory's unque research expertse and facltes. The Laboratory's actve patent lcensng program s a further tool to accomplsh commercalzaton of Brookhaven developed technology. The Offce of Technology Transfer wll work to match specfc market-drven needs of ndvdual companes wth approprate technologes from Brookhaven Natonal Laboratory. 3

7 HOW TO UTLZE BROOKHAVEN'S TECHNOLOGES? Look through the brochure for technology utlzaton opportuntes approprate for your needs. Call the Offce of Technology Transfer (Om) at and tell us your specfc needs (not general). f such a match s possble, t wll serve as the foundaton for utlzaton of Brookhaven technology. 4

8 1 USER FACLTES AT BNL The Laboratory has a large number of research facltes that are desgnated user facltes avalable to outsde users. Although each of these facltes has ts own pont of contact, the OlT wll provde nformaton on specfc facltes or how to get n touch wth the approprate person for submsson of a proposal for use. Two optons are avalable for outsde users of Laboratory desgnated user facltes. Non-propretary, usually basc, research may be performed at any of the desgnated user facltes subject to faclty avalablty and programmatc nterest. Propretary research may be performed at any of the Laboratory's desgnated user facltes. n ths case, a formal Propretary User's Agreement wll be entered nto between BNL and the outsde user. Ths agreement calls for the user to pay full cost recovery to the Laboratory for the machne tme and any related techncal servces whch the Laboratory provdes. n return, the outsde user has the opton to take ttle to any nventons resultng from work at the faclty and to treat as propretary all data generated durng work at the faclty. For more detaled nformaton concernng the opportuntes for propretary and non-propretary research facltes at BNL, please contact Margaret C. Bogosan, Patent Counsel and Manager, OlT at (5 16) BNL Desgnated User Facltes: Alternatng Gradent Synchrotron Natonal Synchrotron Lght Source Hgh Flux Beam Reactor Scannng Transmsson Electron Mcroscopy Faclty Double MP-Type Tandem Accelerator Faclty 60 nch Cyclotron Postron Emsson Transaxal Tomography Faclty JSW 168 Small Cyclotron 5

9 NDUSTRY SPONSORED RESEARCH BNL mantans an effectve work-for-others program wth prvate ndustry, unverstes, and state and local governments. Several optons are adable for conductng researdx R The sponsor can make a grant to fe Laboratory wth an ndcaton that ths money s to be used to support a basc R&D effort n a general research area. Other than access to the nformaton that we would generate durng conduct of such research ether through our publcaton n scentfc papers or through dscussons wth the sponsor, the sponsor would play no part n the drecton of the research and would obtan no rghts n any of the research results. R The sponsor could fund a specfc non-propretary research project at the Laboratory. n ths nstance, scentfc staff from Brookhaven and from the ndustral concern would together defne a mutually agreeable research program. We would then prepare a formal proposal whch we would have to have approved by the Department of EnergJ (DOE), snce t would nvolve usng Laboratory facltes for other then DOE sponsored research. After recept of DOE approval, we would formally submt the proposal to the sponsor. The sponsor would then decde whether to fund the research program agreement. Under such an agreement, the Laboratory would perform the research program defned n the proposal; Brookhaven s Prncpal nvestgator would have responsblty for drectng ths research program; and Brookhaven would have the rght to publsh on ths research. The sponsor could fund a specfc propretary research project at the Laboratory. Here the same steps would be followed as far as proposal preparaton, DOE.approval of the proposal and submsson of the formal proposal to the sponsor. f the sponsor agrees to fund the propretary research program defned n the proposal, Brookhaven would prepare a formal propretary research agreement. The basc terms of such an agreement would cover the Laboratory s performance of the research program set forth n the proposal, would gve Brookhaven s Prncpal nvestgator the rght to drect the research program, would requre the sponsor to pay the Laboratory full cost recovey, and would grant the sponsor the opton to take ttle to any nventons made durng the course of the sponsored research program. 6

10 COOPERATVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS - CRADAS 5 "! 1! BNL s actvely seekng opportuntes to partcpate n cooperatve research and development programs wth ndustry, unversty, and/or state and local government partcpants. Such cooperatve research programs are formalzed by a CRADA between the partcpants. Research work under a CRADA may be performed at BNL, at the laboratory of the non-federalpartcpant(s), or atboth nsttutons, and work s supported by contrbutons from all partcpants n the CRADA. BNL contrbutons to the CRADA can take the form of personnel, facltes, equpment, and other resources, but BNL can not provde funds to the other partcpant(s). Nonfederal partcpant(s) contrbutons can take the form of funds, personnel, facltes, equpment, and other resources. Funds to support BNL's partcpaton can come n part from non-federal partcpant, but part of BNL fundng must come from federal funds. A DOE Model CRADA has been establshed to expedte the DOE approval process and ths Model CRADA permts BNL to negotate rghts to nventons and other ntellectural property.*cradas are beng enthusastcally supported by DOE as a means for U.S. ndustry to beneft from the vast scentfc and technologcal wealth of the DOE natonal laboratores. 7

11 TECHNOLOGES AVALABLE FOR LCENSNG Assocated Unverstes, nc. (Ah), the contractor-operator of Brookhaven Natonal Laboratory, has; the rght to take ttle to patents that cover technologes nvented at the Laboratory.
