Abstract :
We examine the CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreements) process between Federal R&D laboratories in New Mexico and private companies. A comparison is made of the CRADA process with similar technology transfer mechanisms in Japan. We surveyed 250 laboratory and private counterparts involved in Los Alamos National Laboratory CRADA agreements. Survey data are used to explain the effectiveness of CRADAs as a mechanism for technology transfer
