About Office of Technology Partnerships

The primary objective of the Office of Technology Partnerships (OTP) is to build and sustain technology partnering activities between the NIST laboratories and its mission-related organizations. OTP does so by managing various technology transfer programs; managing NIST's intellectual property; carrying out assigned technology transfer functions under the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 and the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986; performing industrial and intergovernmental liaison activities; and strengthening NIST-wide awareness of technology transfer options and their implications. The office assists NIST leadership in reviewing related policies and practices and in helping to propagate improvements in research and development relationships throughout NIST. OTP also manages the Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR).
