Presidential Memorandum – Accelerating Technology Transfer and Commercialization of Federal Research In Support of High-Growth Businesses
Sec. 1. Policy. One driver of successful innovation is technology transfer
Sec. 2. Establish Goals and Measure Progress. (a) Federal laboratories shall develop plans that establish performance goals to increase the number and pace of effective technology transfer and commercialization activities in partnership with non federal entities. (d) The heads of agencies with Federal laboratories are encouraged to include technology transfer efforts in overall laboratory evaluation.
Sec. 3. Streamline the Federal Government's Tech. Transfer and Commercialization Process. (a) Agencies with Federal laboratories shall review their licensing procedures and practices for establishing CRADAs. (c) The heads of agencies … shall implement administrative practices that reduce the time from grant application to award [and] facilitate a common reporting of these performance measures.
Sec. 4. Facilitate Commercialization through Local and Regional Partnerships. (a) Federal laboratories [should] collaborate with external partners to share the expertise of Federal laboratories with businesses and to participate in regional technology innovation clusters that are in place across the country. (b) Agencies [should] locate applied research and business support programs to further technology transfer and commercialization. (c) Federal laboratories and other research facilities [should] engage in public-private partnerships in those technical areas of importance to the agency's mission with external partners to strengthen the commercialization activities in their local region.

Example of NASA Software Affecting Fuel Economy
• Chevy Cruze Eco manual rated at 42 MPG hwy averaged 64 MPG for 9,500 miles
• Achieved by a skilled team experienced in optimizing fuel economy
• High MPG methodology uses predictive driving techniques based on road grades
• NASA developed topology mapping software for low altitude/mountainous terrain flights
• Utilized NASA mapping software with unique Lotus algorithms to directly or indirectly control vehicle speed to maximize MPG based on road conditions (patent applied for)

Outcomes1. Commercial sector products created/enhanced with traceability to NASA capabilities
2. Jobs created/retained which can be traced to successful outcomes of NASA projects
3. Documented/independently validated impact on critical sectors of U. S. economy
4. Increased public support for investment in NASA research and development projects for space, science,
and aeronautics.
1. R&D projects identified/formalized which involve NASA capabilities and non NASA investment
2. Alignment of R&D projects with critical sectors of U.S. economy
3. Level of non NASA investments in R&D projects
4. Stakeholder/partner critical assessments of value proposition of R&D projects to follow on creation of
economic development by private sector

A guiding principle of our regional economic development efforts:
To the greatest extent possible, connect with existing clusters and only consider establishing new ones when a major opportunity exists and is not being addressed.

Catacel Story
NASA Success Story: YSU Roadshow
Bill Whittenberger, Catacel Corp., CTO & President
Catacel makes catalytic materials used in fuel cells, hydrogen plants and other applications.
"The overall experience was very positive. NASA people do CFD modelling all the time, and could easily understand, comment on, and offer advice on the CFD modelling we were doing. Two hours of discussion at the event led to considerable progress in our ability to accurately model our product. A follow-up session at our facility brought us additional valuable input" Whittenberger said.

• The Mayor’s Office in the City of Detroit expressed an interest in developing a partnership with NASA Glenn.
• The technology commercialization specialist from another NASA Center said this was much better than anything they had done and wants to copy it.
• One GRC researcher admitted to being a skeptic but became a fan and willing participant during the event.
And some quotes:• Thanks! Outstanding event. I just got feedback from GM that the people said it
was the best event they ever attended! —David Emerling, Center for Automotive Research and Ohio Manufacturing Institute
• This first SME Technology Interchange was the best technical symposium that I have attended in years. The lightweighting topic was highly relevant to today’s engineering, materials and manufacturing challenges, not just for automotive, but for all industries. It was also just the right amount and mix of presentation and technology displays, the cost was very reasonable and the venue perfect. Thank you, SME and NASA!--Edward N.
