In addition to the numerous ways that NASA benefits from the work of the IPP Office, a true partnership yields benefits for all parties. Therefore, the IPP Office ensures that the partnerships it pursues are truly win-win agreements.
Companies, universities, and other government labs have much to gain in collaborating with Goddard—well beyond simply the name recognition of NASA as a partner. Goddard has world-class expertise, unique facilities, and cutting-edge technologies that can augment our partners’ own capabilities, allowing them to take a giant leap forward in their R&D and strategic plans. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is uniquely poised to contribute to Maryland’s regional economy. By working with economic development agencies, area universities, and other organizations, the IPP Office helps to enhance companies and the workforce in the region, which in the long term can help NASA achieve its objectives.
One of the sometimes surprising benefits of technology transfer is how NASA technologies provide advances in nonaerospace fields, such as medicine, the environment, transportation, consumer products, and more. These advances are sometimes years in the making, so the IPP Office monitors the progress of previously signed agreements to help the partner overcome any obstacles and to promote their successes. The pages that follow offer a few such successes from FY06. |
