Richards, G T

Better utilization of science and technology developed by the federal government has always been a goal of both the public and private sectors. Historically, the commercialization process of this government research has been a slow, tedious one, relying primarily on the private sector's ability to search-out and extract desired information while operating from outside of the government structure. The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) was designed to help facilitate this transfer process by providing an access channel and internal assistance for both public and private sector potential users. The FLC provides a systematic approach to improve the utilization of our technology and shorten the time required for the process to complete its cycle. Public Law 96-480 establishes the requirement for the federal government to support domestic technology transfer, and the FLC provides a vehicle for the government to be responsive to the intent of the law.
