BRIDGES TO NON-DOE SPONSORS CROSS-CUT CENTERS: CHAIN REACTION INNOVATIONS: § National Security Programs (NSP) & Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS). § New innovation accelerator. § Make Argonne expertise more available to national security sponsors, industry, entrepreneurs. § Combination of proactive strategy development/execution and concierge support. § Helps entrepreneurs bridge the challenging gap from idea to commercialization. § Atlas Energy Systems working with Argonne researchers to develop plasma thermoionic energy converters for a range of energy applications. 8
KEY PARTNERSHIP MODELS: CRADAs, SPPs & User Agreements Collaborative R&D Agreement (CRADA) Strategic Partnership Project (SPP) User Agreements (APS, ATLAS, ALCF, CNM) § Cooperative research effort § New IP is anticipated outcome § Funding: any combo of industry partners, (non-DOE) federal agencies and programmatic funds § Argonne performs tasks for others on full cost-recovery basis § Work performed solely by Argonne employees § Data rights depend on specific circumstances § National User Facilities § Non-Proprietary Agreements for open science research § Proprietary Agreements § SPPs can be used for technical assistance with R&D
ACCELERATOR-INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS AT ARGONNE COMMON MECHANISMS: PARTNERS: § SBIR/STTR Awards – Topics: Accelerator & Undulator Technologies, Rare Isotopes, etc. § Relevant Industries: Accelerator & Light Source Instrumentation; Microscopy & Spectroscopy Instrumentation; Medicine (isotope production and particle therapy); Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering; Food Safety; Security. § SPPs/CRADAs – DOE TCF Awards – Non-DOE Federal Funds (e. g. , NIH) § Licensing § Examples: Euclid Tech. Labs; Radia. Beam Systems, LLC; Innosense, LLC; Advanced Design Consulting; Muons, Inc. ; Omega-P, Inc. 10
TECH TRANSFER SUCCESS STORY: AWA & EUCLID TECHLABS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER HIGHLIGHTS • 15+ years of collaboration • 15+ Phase II SBIR Awards • 20+ SPPs/CRADAs with Argonne • FY 17 DOE TCF Award • http: //www. euclidtechlabs. com/ • 2003: Euclid Techlabs founded as an AWA spin-off focused on dielectricbased accelerators with support from DOE SBIR. • By 2014, Euclid was a leading supplier of accelerator components to DOE labs, US universities & industry. • Since 2015, Euclid has expanded into Europe and Asian markets while further developing dielectric and RF technologies, as well as laser microfabrication methods and CVD diamond materials, for advanced accelerator, X-ray facility, electron microscopy, & medical applications.
