The Office of Research Partnerships and Technology Transfer (RPTT) connects people and organizations from the research and business communities with our Laboratory researchers. Private industry research collaborations, federally sponsored research programs, commercializing Brookhaven Lab's technology and supporting the growth of local technology-based businesses are all examples of how we fulfill our mission.
Within RPTT, the Research Partnerships Group (RP) manages the development, DOE approval, negotiation, administration, and closeout of agreements with non-DOE partners. These partnerships may begin with a sponsor's research needs, a company's science challenge or a Laboratory researcher's new breakthrough. In all cases, the RP Office is committed to facilitating collaboration between potential sponsors and researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Reporting to the RPTT Director, the RP Manager is responsible for all phases of the development of strategic research partnerships, with a focus on negotiation with sponsors, as well as contributing significantly to a team working on the Laboratory's new business development process and activities. The RP Manager plays a pivotal role in the laboratory's growth agenda by working with diverse parties across the laboratory to make it as easy as possible for potential partners to interface with the laboratory.
The RP Manager will work with laboratory researchers and managers, the Department of Energy, and external sponsors to support the Laboratory's strategic research growth agenda through the timely creation and negotiation of effective sponsored partnership agreements. The scope of work includes the management of all phases of the Laboratory's Strategic Partnerships Projects (SPP) process for both federal and non-federal sponsors, Agreements for Commercializing Technology (ACT), and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA). For Federal SPP projects, this includes supporting the grants submission, tracking, and reporting processes, including the coordination with the Laboratory's Budget Office on financial reporting and tracking. For non-federal sponsors, the scope of work includes negotiating terms and conditions for SPP agreements with non-federal entities and CRADAs and securing appropriate legal and managerial reviews.The RP Manager will have overall responsibility for the Proposal Information Management System (PIMS) and will ensure that entries in PIMS receive an appropriate risk assessment and that risk elimination and mitigation measures are adopted by engaging the appropriate subject matter experts at the laboratory.
