ARS Research Quality Assurance
The Farm Bill of 1998 (PL105-185) requires:• ARS research is peer-reviewed every 5 years• Majority of panelists are external to ARS
The Peer-Review Process:• Managed by ARS Office of Scientific Quality
Review (OSQR)• Peer Panels evaluate research project plan• Emphasizes scientific merit • Does not approve or allocate project funding• Provides advice to improve each project plan

Technology Transfer Goals of ARS
• Transfer of technology is primary objective, not income
• Facilitate research partnerships & adoption of federal research outcomes for broad U.S. public benefit
• Protect (patent) intellectual property primarily if it enhances technology transfer,
• Enhance U.S. economic development, global competition, and sustainable economic security
![Page 35: U.S. Dept. Agriculture & Agricultural Research Service Rob Griesbach Deputy Assistant Administrator Office of Technology Transfer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfc21a28abf838ca4c8f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Technology Transfer Mechanisms
• Scientific publications, conferences, workshops, field days
• Public germplasm releases• National Agricultural Library • Information Staff - ARS public affairs,
Ag Research Magazine, news releases, exhibits, web page.
• Transferring research materials to non-USDA scientists
• Research Partnerships CRADAs• Patenting / Licensing
![Page 36: U.S. Dept. Agriculture & Agricultural Research Service Rob Griesbach Deputy Assistant Administrator Office of Technology Transfer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfc21a28abf838ca4c8f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement CRADA• partners a Govt. lab scientist with an
outside partner• No Direct funding to Govt lab • Mutually beneficial research• Within goals of ARS• Expected outcome is intellectual
property
![Page 37: U.S. Dept. Agriculture & Agricultural Research Service Rob Griesbach Deputy Assistant Administrator Office of Technology Transfer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfc21a28abf838ca4c8f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement CRADA• Can lead to an exclusive license in
technology • Confidentiality up to five years • A positive weighing factor in award
of USDA SBIR• Patent expertise
![Page 38: U.S. Dept. Agriculture & Agricultural Research Service Rob Griesbach Deputy Assistant Administrator Office of Technology Transfer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfc21a28abf838ca4c8f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
To partner with economic development entities to enhance the effectiveness & impact of technology transfer.
To enhance the flow of ARS technologies to small businesses & encourage technology-based economic development.

Goals of ATIP
Provide complementary assets to ARS
• Guide local / regional business with research needs to the appropriate ARS scientist across ARS (CRADA opportunities)
• Triage business plans of private sector to seek well-qualified candidates for licensing / research partnerships with ARS
• Acquire marketing assessments on ARS technologies from 3rd party sources (business schools, entrepreneur programs, angel investors, etc.) for targeted marketing
• Coordinate “Technology Showcase” events to facilitate partnerships with private sector companies
