Federal Actions to Accelerate Innovation from Lab to Market
Thursday, October 24, 2019; 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET

The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable will host a webinar to discuss recent actions across the federal government to accelerate innovation from lab to market. The federal government invests approximately $150 billion each year in R&D conducted at federal laboratories, universities, and other research organizations. For America to maintain its position as the global leader in innovation, bring products to market more quickly, grow the economy, and maintain a strong national security innovation base, the President’s Management Agenda includes the Lab-to-Market Cross-Agency Priority (CAP) goal to improve the transfer of federally-funded R&D from discoveries in the lab to impact on the marketplace. Co-led by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), agencies across the Federal government are coordinating to accelerate innovation through five key strategies: 

1. Reduce regulatory impediments and administrative barriers in Federal technology transfer policies and practices.
2. Increase engagement with private sector technology development experts and investors.
3. Build a more entrepreneurial R&D workforce.
4. Support innovative tools and services for technology transfer.
5. Improve understanding of global science and technology trends and benchmarks.

Please join GUIRR for a presentation and discussion on the Lab-to-Market Cross-Agency Priority goal with Paul Zielinski, Director for the Technology Partnerships Office at NIST, and Jennifer Shieh, Assistant Director for Entrepreneurship at OSTP. 

There is no cost to this webinar, but registration is required. A confirmation email will be issued prior to the event containing the webinar URL.
