The federal government annually spends billions of dollars on the research and development (R&D) activities performed by federal laboratories. Through the federal technology transfer process, federal laboratories share the benefits of this national investment in R&D with all segments of society.

The FLC Technology Transfer Desk Reference presents a comprehensive introduction to the federal technology transfer process and the technology transfer initiatives, procedures, and mechanisms that are used to implement technology transfer. Although the technology transfer initiatives and mechanisms described in the Desk Reference are promoted and supported by the federal government and apply to all federal agencies and departments, the specific activities and procedures of each organization may vary, and the material presented here may need to be adapted for a particular laboratory or agency.

The primary goal of the Desk Reference is to help technology transfer practitioners become effective facilitators of technology transfer by explaining what technology transfer is and why it is necessary, relating the processes and mechanisms that make it happen, and describing issues and procedures useful in identifying and transferring technologies from the government sector to the private sector. To this end, the Desk Reference provides a thorough overview of the basic elements of technology transfer. It also provides the background, concepts, and practical knowledge required to assist FLC Laboratory Representatives, laboratory technology transfer personnel (including Office of Research and Technology Applications [ORTA] personnel) and other technology transfer practitioners—whether in government or industry—to facilitate the transfer of federally funded technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace.
