Abstract

The Department of the Navy (DON) Technology Transfer (T2) Program is a congressionally mandated program that requires federal laboratories to actively assess applications for Federal research and development projects, and to provide information and assistance to State or local government and to private industry (Stevenson-Wydler Act of 1980). The DON Technology Transfer (T2) Program Management Office (DON T2 PMO) is responsible for policy and guidance, as well as products and services that enable designated laboratories and technical activity centers to facilitate the transfer of technology both into and out of the DON to stimulate partnerships and advance naval technology needs. T2 Offices throughout the DON enhance naval effectiveness by strategically leveraging industrial and technology into the NRE, and transfer appropriate Navy-developed innovative concepts, inventions, facilities and materiel to the private sector for the purposes of dual-use commercialization, to benefit DoD, the public economy, and academia. The DON T2 PMO, under the purview of the Chief of Naval Research at ONR, is also aligned within the NavalX organization to support its Tech Bridge activities. This program also provides the Department of the Navy interface to technology transfer and transition stakeholders such as the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Programs (SBIR/STTR), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)/Department of Commerce, Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) for matters relating to policy and reporting requirements for technology transfer. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
