- Description
- DESCRIPTION: As the host agency for the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) for Technology Transfer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires contractor support services to carry out the mission of FLC which is to promote and facilitate the rapid movement of federal laboratory research results and technologies into the mainstream of the U.S. economy. Specifically, the FLC develops and tests transfer methods, addresses barriers to the process, provides training, highlights grass-roots transfer efforts, and emphasizes national initiatives in which technology transfer has a role. For the public and private sectors, the FLC brings laboratories together with potential developers and users of government-owned technologies. The FLC seeks to add value to the federal agencies, laboratories, and their partners to accomplish the rapid integration of research and development resources into commercial products. The Consortium's vision is to actively promote the fullest application and use of federal research and development by providing an environment for successful technology transfer, thereby enhancing the socioeconomic well-being of the United States in the world. The FLC was organized in 1974 and formally chartered by the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 to promote and strengthen technology transfer nationwide. The FLC is the only government-wide forum for federal technology transfer. Its members consist of technology transfer professionals representing more than 300 federal laboratories and a representative from each of their respective parent federal agencies and departments. The FLC has established bylaws for the purpose of its governance and executing the statutory mandates established by Congress (see 15 United States Code Section 3710). A description of the FLC can be found at www.federallabs.org.
