How Does Technology Transfer Work Within Rome Labs?

Technology transfer, in the context of government labs such as Rome Labs, involves two parts: creating novel technology and licensing of that technology. You can be involved in either part of this process. Both parts of this process are important to the development and growth of our nation’s economy.
