Specifically, the awardee, in collaboration with NIST, will sponsor graduate and post-doctoral research; assess, define, and develop the data infrastructure and tools required to empirically measure the impact of technology transfer across the entire federal laboratory system; conduct systematic empirical analyses of technology transfer mechanisms across federal laboratories; conduct analyses to measure the economic impacts of technology transfer from federal laboratories; identify barriers to effective technology transfer from the federal laboratory system; and disseminate the data infrastructure, tools, and results of the analyses.
