I work as a licensing specialist in NASA Langley's Technology Transfer Office.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has the organizational capacity to advance innovation through two primary methods – the identification and development of innovative technologies and practices, and the implementation of innovation at the Federal, State, and local levels.Technology Transfer (T2) is a set of activities required of all Federal departments by Congress.Engaging stakeholders effectively increases capacity for research results to create economic and societal benefits and positive impacts.T2 has the following objectives: - Achieve greater success in T2, transition, and commercialization of research products of the Office of Research and Technology (HRT). - Change the paradigm of HRT’s outreach efforts and build partners and collaborators for research. - Increase the number of invention disclosures. - Prepare the research product for implementation.

The NASA SBIR and STTR programs fund the research, development, and demonstration of innovative technologies that fulfill NASA needs as described in the annual Solicitations and have significant potential for successful commercialization.
