Federal Lab Consortium Announces ‘07 Tech Transfer Awards
The Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) today issued its 2007 FLC Awards: Awards for Excellence in Technology Transfer. Among the winners is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and AerovectRX Corp., which licensed CDC technology that allows therapies and vaccines to be administered via an easy-to-breathe mist.
According to the FLC’s awards material, CDC and AerovectRX are being honored for their ability to partner and successfully commercialize innovation developed by the federal government.
In one other award category, Dr. Theresa Baus won the “Outstanding Technology Transfer Professional Award.” Baus is head of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center’s Office of Research and Technology Applications. Baus was honored this year, according to the FLC, for her work in developing a new model to “forge relationships between the Navy and the private sector.”
The FLC is a federally chartered organization, established in 1974, that acts as a national network of federal lab and research institutes.
