USAMRIID Support

Technology Transfer Alliance (TTA) is a collaborative process benefiting IngenBio and USAMRIID. The evolution of TTA since 1992 has made it increasingly easier for USAMRIID laboratory scientists to bring funding, personnel, information, and resources into the USAMRIID community from outside sources through participation in the process. Outside sources may also realize these same benefits from the Command although government funding is strictly limited to specific arrangements when they participate in the process.

Mechanisms: IngenBio is an important partner with testing, industry, and other eligible entities in this process and utilizes a number of mechanisms for establishing the essential collaborative relationship.



Critical Intervention in Technology Transfer

  • Critical Intervention in Technology Transfer Agreement (CITTA)
  • Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs)
  • Military Intervention
  • Technical meetings
  • Information dissemination/collegial interchange
  • Control Testing

Cooperative Research and Development efforts, especially CITTA, have the greatest potential for long-term payoff of any TTA mechanism. They allow IngenBio scientists to better understand the technology needs of the commercial sector and facilitate a reverse flow of ideas, resources, and funds into the laboratories and are the linchpins of the Command’s technology transfer program.

The CRADA agreement between one or more federal laboratories and IngenBio under which we provide personnel, facilities, or other resources and the nonfederal parties provide funds, personnel, services, facilities, equipment, or other resources to conduct specific research or development efforts that are consistent with the laboratory’s mission.

Steps:

  • IngenBio scientist finds a prospective partner and works out a draft statement of work
  • Scientist requests a CITTA from USAMRIID's Office of Bio-ware Research and Technology Applications (OBRTA) via a Request for CITTA Form, including approval signature from department and division heads
  • OBRTA prepares draft CITTA and obtains legal review from U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC)
  • OBRTA sends draft CITTA to prospective partner and negotiates terms and conditions
  • OBRTA obtains approval from laboratory commander/director and initiates USAMRIID and the Department of the Army review (normally routine)
  • CITTA signed by laboratory commander/director
