ATP Advanced Technology Programs Concepts NREC always strives to explore the cutting edge in turbomachinery technology. We historically engage in a variety of advanced technology programs. Programs SBIR projects are part of an exciting three-phase program sponsored by various U.S. Government agencies. Each year these agencies release topics in published solicitations. Companies which qualify as small businesses, and are capable of both conducting research and development in these topics, and commercializing the results, are allowed to submit proposals against these topics.
Small companies can partner with larger businesses.
Consortia Program Consortiums are collaborative, applied investigations which pool resources from multiple sponsors to complete focused research on turbomachinery performance and reliability. Consortiums are intended to supplement, not displace, development efforts within each participating organization. Sponsors have the opportunity to participate in choosing the direction of the applied research by suggesting tasks and setting priorities among alternative approaches. Sponsors of Concepts NREC's international consortia include equipment users, equipment manufacturers, government agencies, and independent research organizations.
