The Center for Innovation and Strategic Partnerships houses the Partnership Development Office and the Intellectual Property and Strategic Agreements office, and fosters purposeful innovation across the Frederick National Laboratory with the goal of bringing our expertise, capabilities, and technologies to the external research community.
It has four key pillars:
-
Partnership development and student training.
-
Technology development and transfer.
-
Intellectual property management and portfolio management.
-
Outreach and events.
Through these pillars, the center seeks to strengthen the laboratory’s role as a national and global resource for biomedical research.
