NIST 2016 Annual Report on Technology Transfer gives a detailed overview of technology transfer activities of the DOC’s three bureaus with research laboratories; NIST, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, and National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Earlier this month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, known as NIST, published the 2016 Annual Report on Technology Transfer. The report gives a detailed overview of technology transfer activities of the DOC’s three bureaus with research laboratories; NIST, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, and National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

In the 2016 fiscal year, researchers from  DOC laboratories played a role in 389 collaborative research and development agreements relating to things like public safety broadband communications, new inventions, laser radar technologies, and tests to detect toxins in food. In addition, the researchers also published 3,056 scientific and technical publications.

The report demonstrates the major impact technology transfer has on the ability to create jobs, grow the economy, and improve the overall standard of living for Americans. Click here to read the report in its entirety.
