Today, the President announced a new directive requiring all Federal research agencies to bolster efforts to transfer the results of research from their lab to the marketplace. These agencies will streamline their research partnership programs for small businesses, universities, and local communities. They will also launch new programs designed to support regional innovation clusters, launch new public-private partnerships, and share Federal lab facilities with high-tech startups. Each agency will be responsible for designing a five-year plan with tailored goals and metrics to measure progress.
