General Equipment Company INC.
| About us | Under a crada, engineers and scientists at the naval air warfare center weapons division(nawcwd)work cooperatively with their peers in industry and academia on mutually beneficial research and development. Both partners may contribute resources, services, facilities and equipment. Among the services, a crada provides direct access to federally developed science and technology. A cooperative research and development agreement is a written agreement between a private or public company and a governmental agency to work together on a project. By entering into a crada, the federal government and non-federal partners can optimize their resources and cost- effectively perform research by sharing costs of this research. The collaborating partner agrees to provide funds, personnel, services, facilities, equipment or other resources needed to conduct a specific research or development effort while the federal government agrees to provide similar resources but not funds directly to the partner. The crada vehicle provides incentives that can help speed the commercialization of federally development technology, making it an excellent technology transfer tool. The government protects any propriety information brought to the crada effort by the partner. This provides a true collaborative opportunity. Federal scientists can work closely with their non-federal counterparts, exchanging ideas and information while protecting the company secrets. Also, all parties can mutually agree, if they so desires, to keep research results emerging from the crada confidential and free form disclosure through the freedom of information act for up to 5 years. Crada's also allow flexibility in patenting and patent licenses or permitting on partner to retain exclusive rights to a patent or patent license.
