Benefits in establishing a CRADA with a federal lab include reduced R&D costs, a concentrated effort resulting in reduced time between innovation and production, and the ability to commercialize inventions developed under the CRADA.

A Brief History

Following WWII, the U.S. federal government was providing 70% of all R&D funding. Federal employees owned their government-funded inventions ...
