Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP)
•   IPP provides leveraged technology investments, dual-use technology-
    related partnerships, and technology solutions for NASA.
•   IPP consists of the following program elements:
     – Technology Infusion which includes the Small Business Innovative
        Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs
        and the IPP Seed Fund;
     – Innovation Incubator which includes activities such as Centennial
        Challenges and new efforts to facilitate purchase from services from the
        emerging commercial space sector; and
     – Partnership Development which includes Intellectual Property
        management, Technology Transfer, and new innovative partnerships.
•   IPP enables cost avoidance, and accelerates technology maturation.
•   IPP increases NASA's connection to emerging technologies in the
    external communities, enables targeted positioning of NASA's
    technology portfolio in selected areas, and secure NASA's intellectual
    property to provide fair access and to support NASA's strategic goals.
•   Dual-use partnerships and licensing create socio-economic benefits
    within the broader community through technology transfer.

                                                                                   4

IPP Themes
What are our primary roles?
• Facilitator
   – Bringing parties together, both inside and outside the agency.
   – Bridging communication gaps to improve the value we can provide
      to the agency.
• Catalyst
   – Acting as a pathfinder for implementing new things – change agent.
   – Creating new partnerships.
   – Demonstrating effectiveness of new approaches and methods.

How do we approach an issue?
• We are always seeking to add value towards Agency priorities and
  objectives
• Mindset must be                       “No” we
   – “Yes” we can do this “if”        can’t do this
                                       “because”

•   IPP objective should be to maximize partnership value for both
    NASA and partner.
•   Refer back to the partnership model for value and ask:
     – What impact will this aspect of the partnership have on value?
     – What are other opportunities to increase value?
                                                                                                                                                                    9

SBIR Transition
      •   Focus on Technology Infusion
      •   Work closely with Mission Directorates to incorporate SBIR
          investments as an integral component of their technology
          roadmaps
      •   New Level III Centers will have key roles in performing this work
          with the Mission Directorates, providing a decision support and
          analysis role to help the Mission Directorates prioritize and make
          the best technology investment decisions.
      •   Proposed alignment is a hybrid approach with key relationships
          between Level III Centers and Mission Directorates, but also some
          crosscutting areas assigned to Level III Centers that require
          coordination and prioritization across multiple Mission
          Directorates.

Phase III SBIR Contracting
•   Congress provided authority to allow funding of SBIR firms with
    Phase III contracts on a sole-source basis without need for a
    JOFOC.
•   Congress specifically intended that not only NASA, but prime
    contractors be able to easily utilize SBIR firms for subcontracts.
•   The SBA’s SBIR Policy Guide indicates that:
      – “…Congress intends that agencies or…..Government prime
         contractors that pursue R/R&D or production developed under the
         SBIR program, give preference, including sole source awards, to
         the awardee that developed the technology.”
•   If an SBIR firm has a technology that is appropriate for use under a
    prime contract, the Prime can non-competitively award a
    subcontract and use the SBIR Phase III status as justification.
•   The Policy Guide states “The competition for SBIR Phase I and
    Phase II awards satisfies any competition requirement of …the
    Competition in Contracting Act…..”

•   This may simplify the documentation required for a subcontract
    and expedite award.


                                                                           21
IPP Seed Fund
•   The IPP Seed Fund has been established to enhance NASA’s
    ability to meet Mission capability goals by providing leveraged
    funding to address technology barriers via cost-shared, joint-
    development partnerships.
•   The IPP Office at NASA HQ provided a Seed Fund Announcement
    of Opportunity to all NASA centers and received 76 proposals.
•   All Seed Fund proposals, to be executed over a period of one year,
    were developed through the collaboration of three principal
    partners:
     – a Partnership Manager (Center IPPO);
     – a Co-Principal Investigator (NASA Program or Project Office); and
     – an External Co-Principal Investigator (Private Sector, Academia,
        Government Lab).
•   There were three principal criteria for selection:
     – relevance and value to NASA Mission Directorates,
     – scientific/technical merit and feasibility, and
     – leveraging of resources.
•   All proposals were reviewed by a HQ team of IPP and Mission
    Directorate experts, and 29 proposals were selected for funding.

                                                                           22
IPP Seed Fund
•   The technology landscape covered by the successful proposals
    embraced the needs of all four of NASA’s Mission Directorates.
•   An additional highlight of the Seed Fund effort was the leveraging
    of funds as a result of contributions from the three partners.
     – $6.6 million of IPP Office funds,
     – $7.5 million came from Program, Project, Center funds, and
     – $14.2 million came from External Partner funds.
•   An investment of $6.6 million by IPP facilitated the generation of 29
    partnerships and was leveraged by more than a factor of four,
    providing a total of $28.3 million for the advancement of critical
    technologies and capabilities for the Agency.
•   The IPP Office plans to continue the Seed Fund with an annual
    process for selecting additional innovative partnerships for
    funding, to address the technology priorities of NASA’s Mission
    Directorates.

NASA’s Connection to Prizes
Early European Aviation Prizes Led To The Creation of NACA
• The progress of European aviation due to prizes and
  competitions became troubling to US observers.
• Dr. Albert F. Zahm, head of the revived Smithsonian
  aeronautical laboratory originally founded by Samuel
  Pierpoint Langley, was dispatched to Europe along with Dr.
  Jerome C. Hunsaker of MIT to study the situation there.
• Zahm’s report, issued in 1914 emphasized the disparity
  between European progress and American inertia.
• The report led to the creation of the Advisory Committee for
  Aeronautics (later known as the National Advisory
  Committee for Aeronautics or NACA), the predecessor of
  NASA.

Commercial Space
•   One of NASA’s six agency-level goals is to encourage appropriate
    partnerships with the emerging commercial space sector.
•   The Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) plays an important role – as
    both facilitator and catalyst – towards achieving that NASA goal.
•   IPP has been tasked to fulfill the role of being a single point of entry into
    NASA, for outside organizations seeking to partner with or provide services
    to NASA related to commercial space.
     – In this role, IPP will be a facilitator, seeking to connect outside capabilities
        and interests with internal needs and interests at HQ and the Centers – the
        goal is to make it easier for outside organizations to partner and work with
        NASA.
•   IPP has also been tasked to demonstrate the purchase of services from the
    emerging commercial space sector – for parabolic aircraft flight and
    suborbital flight – with those services to be used for microgravity research,
    technology development and training.
     – IPP is working with NASA’s Shared Capability Assets Program (SCAP) and
        the Glenn Research Center (GRC), who are preparing a solicitation to
        establish an IDIQ contract for parabolic aircraft services.
     – IPP will offer funds and seek leveraging through partnerships, to use this
        contractual mechanism and demonstrate the business model for purchasing
        services to support NASA’s research and technology needs.
                                                                                          29
Innovation Transfusion
•   There is significant potential for NASA to learn and benefit from innovation
    occurring outside the agency
•   Some potential is being realized on ad hoc basis across the agency
•   IPP proposes a focused activity to more strategically realize this potential
     – Identify strategic areas of innovation that would benefit the agency
     – Identify target organizations to transfuse that innovation from
     – Identify key individuals with relevant expertise to participate
•   Innovation Transfusion would have three components:
     – Innovation Ambassadors
          • Assignment of NASA personnel to innovative orgs outside the agency to
            experience innovative practices first hand and bring that knowledge
            back to the agency
     – Innovation Field Visits
          • Regular visits to innovative orgs, with focused objectives to exchange
            ideas and practices in particular areas of innovation with strategic
            interest to NASA (e.g. Innovation Ambassador hosts)
     – Agency Dissemination
          • Use existing communication mechanisms to disseminate lessons
            learned and best practices to a broader agency audience

                                                                                     30
Partnership Activities in FY06
•   During FY 2006, the Innovative Partnership Program (IPP) facilitated
    many partnerships and agreements, as summarized below:
     – Over 200 partnerships with the private sector, federal and state
        government, academia, and other entities for dual use technology
        development and reimbursable use of NASA facilities.
     – Over 50 license agreements with private entities for commercial and
        quality of life applications of NASA developed technology.
     – Reporting of more than 750 new technologies developed by NASA civil
        servants and contractors, and evaluation for patent protection.
     – More than 400 agreements for commercial application of software
        developed by NASA.
•   Technologies include biotechnology, chemicals, communications,
    computing, electronics, energy conversion, instrumentation, materials,
    optics, propulsion, and robotics.
•   In addition to NASA mission relevance, public benefits are expected
    in agriculture, communications, energy conversion and use, environ-
    mental protection, health and medicine, information technology,
    machinery & manufacturing, and public safety.

Program and Project Benefits
•   This letter expresses my personal appreciation for the support that
    your Innovative Partnerships Program Office (IPPO) has provided
    to the Exploration Launch Office (ELO) at the Marshall Space Flight
    Center (MSFC) during FY06.
•   Thanks to the support, we have been able to attract external
    partners to work with us in advancing technologies that would
    otherwise not have been pursued. These technologies will
    certainly enhance our ability to meet the challenges we face in
    meeting the goals of the Agency.
     – Hardware Maturation and Cryogenic Testing of an Optical
        Cryogenic Mass Flow Sensor
     – Magnetostrictive Regulator Development
     – Thermal Stir Welding (TSW) Development
     – Validation of Cryogenic-Composite Over-Wrapped Pressure
        Vessels
     – Prototype Development and Technology Demonstration of
        Apparatus for Reading Two-Dimensional Identification Symbols
        Using Visual and Sensing Technologies

Steve Cook, Manager, Exploration Launch Office
                                                                          34
Partnering with Other Agencies
•   Partnership with NIST
     – Collaborate on advanced nanotechnology research, helping lead to
       further advancements in NASA missions
         • Chemical sensors, biosensors, electronic devices and circuits,
            and architectures for electronics, health care, and other fields
     – Grants NASA access to NIST’s $235 million nanotechnology
       research facilities
•   What GSFC IPP Office Did
     – Identified NIST as a nano match for GSFC
     – Negotiated terms of agreement




                         “By having access to these state-of-the-art facilities and
                         capabilities at NIST, Goddard can focus its resources on the
                         validation of these miniaturized technologies to accelerate
                         their maturity for space flight applications supporting scientific
                         research and NASA’s vision for space exploration.” Peter
                         Hughes, GSFC Chief Technologist


                                                                                              35
Partnerships with Industry
•   Partnership with Lake Shore Cryotronics
     – Company will manufacture GSFC-developed continuous adiabatic
       demagnetization refrigerator (ADR)
     – Provides lower cost source for continuous ADRs than in-house
       manufacturing (Mars exploration, Constellation X)
•   What GSFC IPP Office Did
     – Targeted technology for licensing that will lead to COTS product for
       NASA
     – Promoted technology at partnership-development workshops and
       conferences (Lake Shore connection)
     – Facilitated discussions between GSFC innovator and Lake Shore
     – Negotiated license
     – Additional development to advance TRL through Seed Fund
                           “The IPP Office was extremely helpful in identifying companies
                           interested in licensing the ADR and then negotiating patent
                           rights and other issues that allowed the licensing to go forward.
                           And the Seed Fund award is coming at an ideal time. Without it,
                           we would have had to shut down our work, which would have
                           compromised future efforts and missions.” Peter Shirron, GSFC
                           innovator
                                                                                               36

  • 26. NASA’s Connection to Prizes Early European Aviation Prizes Led To The Creation of NACA • The progress of European aviation due to prizes and competitions became troubling to US observers. • Dr. Albert F. Zahm, head of the revived Smithsonian aeronautical laboratory originally founded by Samuel Pierpoint Langley, was dispatched to Europe along with Dr. Jerome C. Hunsaker of MIT to study the situation there. • Zahm’s report, issued in 1914 emphasized the disparity between European progress and American inertia. • The report led to the creation of the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (later known as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics or NACA), the predecessor of NASA. – Source: Bilstein, Orders of Magnitude A History of the NACA and NASA, 1915-1990, NASA SP-4406,National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, DC, 1989.” 26

  • 29. Commercial Space • One of NASA’s six agency-level goals is to encourage appropriate partnerships with the emerging commercial space sector. • The Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) plays an important role – as both facilitator and catalyst – towards achieving that NASA goal. • IPP has been tasked to fulfill the role of being a single point of entry into NASA, for outside organizations seeking to partner with or provide services to NASA related to commercial space. – In this role, IPP will be a facilitator, seeking to connect outside capabilities and interests with internal needs and interests at HQ and the Centers – the goal is to make it easier for outside organizations to partner and work with NASA. • IPP has also been tasked to demonstrate the purchase of services from the emerging commercial space sector – for parabolic aircraft flight and suborbital flight – with those services to be used for microgravity research, technology development and training. – IPP is working with NASA’s Shared Capability Assets Program (SCAP) and the Glenn Research Center (GRC), who are preparing a solicitation to establish an IDIQ contract for parabolic aircraft services. – IPP will offer funds and seek leveraging through partnerships, to use this contractual mechanism and demonstrate the business model for purchasing services to support NASA’s research and technology needs. 29
  • 30. Innovation Transfusion • There is significant potential for NASA to learn and benefit from innovation occurring outside the agency • Some potential is being realized on ad hoc basis across the agency • IPP proposes a focused activity to more strategically realize this potential – Identify strategic areas of innovation that would benefit the agency – Identify target organizations to transfuse that innovation from – Identify key individuals with relevant expertise to participate • Innovation Transfusion would have three components: – Innovation Ambassadors • Assignment of NASA personnel to innovative orgs outside the agency to experience innovative practices first hand and bring that knowledge back to the agency – Innovation Field Visits • Regular visits to innovative orgs, with focused objectives to exchange ideas and practices in particular areas of innovation with strategic interest to NASA (e.g. Innovation Ambassador hosts) – Agency Dissemination • Use existing communication mechanisms to disseminate lessons learned and best practices to a broader agency audience 30
  • 31. Partnership Activities in FY06 • During FY 2006, the Innovative Partnership Program (IPP) facilitated many partnerships and agreements, as summarized below: – Over 200 partnerships with the private sector, federal and state government, academia, and other entities for dual use technology development and reimbursable use of NASA facilities. – Over 50 license agreements with private entities for commercial and quality of life applications of NASA developed technology. – Reporting of more than 750 new technologies developed by NASA civil servants and contractors, and evaluation for patent protection. – More than 400 agreements for commercial application of software developed by NASA. • Technologies include biotechnology, chemicals, communications, computing, electronics, energy conversion, instrumentation, materials, optics, propulsion, and robotics. • In addition to NASA mission relevance, public benefits are expected in agriculture, communications, energy conversion and use, environ- mental protection, health and medicine, information technology, machinery & manufacturing, and public safety. 31
