Abstract
NASA has been conducting an experiment with value-added facilitators for targeted technology transfer to accelerate commercialization of NASA-developed technology. The hypothesis is that, by bringing commercialization expertise directly to NASA technologists, the probability of successful technology transfer will be increased. This paper will discuss two new NASA activities—the Joint Sponsored Research Program and the Technology Commercialization Centers at Johnson Space Center and Ames Research Center—both of which, taken together, will test the value-added facilitator hypothesis.
