NPS Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) Opportunities

A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is a partnership between a Federal laboratory and a non-Federal entity to conduct collaborative research and development aligned with the laboratory’s mission. CRADAs are a key mechanism for formalizing partnerships between private industry and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), enabling collaboration while allowing non-Federal parties to contribute funding. Under a CRADA, both parties can provide personnel, facilities, equipment, and other resources. However, the government cannot provide funding to non-Federal entities under this agreement.
