The technical assistance provides technology transfer from our labs and facilities to small businesses. It also involves the utilization of existing technology, not development and deployment of new technology. As such, no collaborative research is involved, and no intellectual property is created. There are no funds going out to the small business. The assistance service is offered at no charge to qualified businesses.
Assistance is contingent upon the availability of qualified personnel to perform the required work.
Technical assistance is also available on a cost recovery basis. To request technical assistance from Sandia, a short application is available as a downloadable Microsoft Word or Adobe pdf file. Click here to view examples of technical assistance provided to small businesses by Sandia.
