COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (CRADA)
What is a CRADA?
A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) enables Sandia National Laboratories and one or more partners outside the Federal government to collaborate and share the results of jointly conducted research.
Although a CRADA is just one of the partnering mechanisms Sandia uses to provide access to its worldclass facilities, technologies, scientists, and engineers, this agreement type is unique in its collaborative nature. CRADAs foster mutually beneficial partnerships in which the participant and Sandia work together as collaborators in facilitating cutting-edge research and development (R&D) for ultimate commercialization.
What makes a CRADA possible?
As a partnership agreement, a CRADA is a legal document that permits the transfer of Sandia’s technologies, processes, R&D capabilities, and technical know-how to the private sector or academia. Such technology transfer is authorized by the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980.
The DOE/Sandia Scaled Wind Farm
Technology (SWiFT) facility allows
for rapid, cost-efficient testing and
development of transformative wind
energy technology, with specific
emphasis on improving wind plant
performance.
