'''Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC)''' is a nationwide network of federal laboratories that connect lab innovations with industries and entrepreneurs to accelerate the commercialization of federal research. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.federallabs.org/}} ==Mission== The FLC's mission is to enhance the transfer of technology from federal labs to the marketplace, thereby fostering innovation, economic growth, and improving the quality of life. It aims to bridge the gap between federal research and its practical application in industry, academia, and other sectors. ==Parent organization== FLC operates independently as a network of federal laboratories, not as part of a single parent organization, but it collaborates closely with various federal agencies. ==Legislation== FLC was established by the [[Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980]], which mandates federal laboratories to engage in technology transfer activities. ==Partners== * Federal laboratories across numerous agencies * State and local governments * Industry, academia, and economic development organizations ==Number of employees== FLC does not have employees in the traditional sense; it is composed of representatives from member labs. ==Organization structure== *'''FLC National Advisory Council''' provides governance. *'''Regional Coordinators''' manage activities in specific geographic areas. *'''Committees and Working Groups''' focus on specific technology transfer issues. ==List of programs== * Technology Transfer Workshops * FLC National Meeting for Networking * LabTech Awards for Outstanding Tech Transfer * FLC Business to connect labs with industry ==Last total enacted budget== FLC does not have a separate budget; it is supported by contributions from member laboratories and federal funding. ==Leader== FLC is led by a Chairperson elected from among its members. ==Services provided== FLC provides services like facilitating partnerships between federal labs and industry, offering educational programs and resources on technology transfer best practices, hosting networking events, and recognizing excellence in technology transfer through awards. It also maintains databases of federal technologies available for licensing. ==Regulations overseen== While FLC doesn't oversee regulations, it operates under and promotes adherence to federal technology transfer laws like the Bayh-Dole Act and the Stevenson-Wydler Act, which govern how federal labs can engage in tech transfer. ==Headquarters address== 712 H Street NE, Suite 1611 Washington DC 20002 ==Website== https://www.federallabs.org/ ==Wikipedia article== [[wikipedia:Federal Laboratory Consortium]] ==External links== * https://www.federallabs.org/ * https://www.federallabs.org/about-us * https://www.nist.gov/tpo/federal-laboratory-consortium-flc [[Category:Research and Development Agencies]]
