Technology partnerships: The continuing evolution of technology transfer from a US government agency's perspective
by Roger A. Lewis
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 9, No. 1/2, 1997

Abstract: New technology transfer mechanisms used jointly to develop technology meet both agency needs and partner objectives. Partnerships provide mutual benefits, reduce costs, shorten development time, and reduce risks. The US Department of Energy's experience making the transition from technology transfer to technology partnerships is addressed from policy, process, and performance perspectives. Despite meeting or exceeding performance goals, and in spite of a documented high-level of partner/customer satisfaction, congressional actions in the 1996 budget have forced the department to change its organizational structure for the department-wide technology transfer functions.
