  1. Small Business Opportunity Fair, Rochester Institute of Technology, August 11, 2005 Helen Todosow, Information & Market Analyst Energy, Environment and National Security Brookhaven National Laboratory

  2. Scope • How to do meaningful technical and scientific work with BNL for mutual benefit. • Background & Brief History • A few details about the type of research we do • Options & mechanisms for working with BNL • Tips

  3. History • BNL is located in Upton, New York (Long Island) on the former site of the Army’s Camp Upton during World War I and II, and opened its doors in 1947 • BNL is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and operated by Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) under a prime contract. (Government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) laboratory). • BSA is a nonprofit organization formed from a partnership of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the Battelle Memorial Institute

  4. Laboratory Location

  5. Brookhaven National Laboratory RHIC AGS Complex BLIP and BAF Isotope Production EE NS PET Material Science MRI Instrumentation Chemistry LEAF Tandem Physics Computing NSLS Medical Research Biology STEM CDIC Total Buildings – 365 BNL Total Staff – 2,900 PhD – 640; Master/Bachelors – 860 Total Users - 3400

  6. BNL Missions • Undertakes high risk, long lead time research in key DOE mission areas. • A multi-purpose Lab that provides accelerator-based research tools for the nation’s science and technology enterprise, • Leads users in the exploitation of the most advanced tools available for scientific and technical R&D. • Assists in addressing the Nation’s Energy, Environmental and National security needs • Transfers Innovation and Technology into the market

  7. More About BNL • 15 Departments & Divisions reflecting our multi disciplinary core strength • 12 User Facilities; RHIC, NSLS,CFN,PET,STEM, etc. • 9 Research Centers –Computational Sciences Center[cross disciplinary], Translational Neuroimaging [PET, MRI], National Nuclear Data Center[Nuclear Wallet Cards for Homeland Security],NASA Space Radiation Program [NASA Space Radiation Health Program], Center for Spectroscopy in Molecular Sciences [joint BNL, CU, SUNY SB], RIKEN-BNL Center [joint with Japan] etc. • 6 Nobel Prize winners [winners in 2002, 2003 Chemistry, Neutrinos]

  8. BNL Core Competencies • Accelerator Physics and Instrumentation • High Energy Physics • Nuclear Physics • The Physics and Chemistry of Materials • Structural and Molecular Life Sciences • Biology and Chemistry of Radiation • Imaging Science and Neuroscience • Energy Sciences and Technologies • Environmental Science • Nuclear Safeguards and Sensor Technologies • Superconducting Materials and Magnets • Cross-cutting: computational and analytical sciences, advanced scientific computing All experimental work at BNL based on advanced instrumentation

  9. BNL Total Program Spending – FY 2004 $454.0M - COST PLAN A/R + USERS 2.1% Dept. of Commerce Dept. of Defense Dept. of Homeland Security Dept. of the Interior Dept. of Transportation Dept. of State - ISPO Environmental Protection Agency NASA ITT Industries Raytheon Technical Services NYSERDA National Oil Heat Res. Alliance Insight Technologies KeySpan University of California Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Houston Advanced Research Center

  10. USER FACILITIES FY 04 Activity at Major BNL User Facilities # Institutions - # Researchers -

  11. Biomedical Engineering “Imaging the Awake Animal brain” Develop technologies for PET and MRI imaging of the brain in awake, non-anesthetized, & non-comatose animals -MRI “Animal drives MRI scanner”: MRI & magnet instrumentation; optical tracking system Retrospective motion/image correction of MRI data -PET Mobile PET camera; animal wears ratCAP [Conscious Animal PET] PET reconstruction for moving objects CROSS-DISCIPLINARY - Medical, Chemistry, Physics, Magnet, Instrumentation, and SUNY-SB & LBNL TECHNOLOGIES: LSO detectors, Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) and miniature Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC))

  12. BNL Center for Functional Nanomaterials • Atomic level tailoring of a material’s response to achieve a specific functionality. • Central material thrust is the nanoscale chemistry and physics of functional materials. • New collaborative nanofabrication facility for BNL and its first-rate collaborating universities. • Soliciting proposals from industry and outside orgs. Sept. 30th deadline

  13. DHS NYC Urban Dispersion Program: Co-funded by DTRA, DOE, EPA • Determine airborne paths of contaminants and modeling of contaminant flow in urban canyon environments; Real-time meteorological monitoring Evaluation of vertical flows, evaluation of personal exposure • Over 50 scientists and emergency planners involved; multi-lab, multi sponsor effort w/PNNL • Tracer experiment to evaluate actual contaminant flows: • Perfluorocarbon tracers PFTs with detection capability of 10-15

  14. RADTEC SITE

  15. Energy, Environment & National Security DirectorateCapabilities and Facilities • Meeting the Energy Challenges of our Nation • Liquid Fuels Research Laboratories • Proliferation Resistant Nuclear Fuel Cycles • Probabilistic Risk Assessment • Economic/Environmental Energy Modeling • Geothermal and Wind Energy • National Nuclear Data Center • Science Supports Environmental Quality • Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion • Formation and Behavior of Aerosols • Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Research • Radioactive Transfer and Fluxes in Atmosphere • Development of Unique Instruments for • Sampling/Detection • Accelerated Remediation Technologies • Nonproliferation of Nuclear Materials • Russian Nuclear Materials Protection, • Control, and Accounting • Safeguards and Arms Control Verification • and Transparency • Advanced Sensor Technologies

  16. Working with BNL – Key elements • Relationship building – matching your goals with our mission, • Matchmaking - with sponsors or available funding. • Timing - does not conflict or interfere with DOE/sponsor requirements • Does not compete directly with capabilities available from private sector • Complies with all regulations protecting environment and human/animal subjects • Facilitates technology transfer and expedites deployment and commercialization of US tech

  17. Working with BNL - The Benefits • Access to highly diversified world-class talent, resources, facilities • Independent, objective, non-competitive (focus on tech transfer not spinning out companies) • Able to handle and assist with broad range of sensitive research topics – for government and private clients • Collaborators & users have access to vast information services & resources • Link to the country’s research communities: universities, industries and federal, state and local agencies • Bridge to global resources

  18. Working with BNL – A number of ways • Collaborative R&D on meaningful science and technology- CRADAs, Sponsored Research Agreements • “Non- collaborative” research and technical assistance – Technical & Purchased Service Agreements • User Agreements

  19. Collaborative R&D:CRADA • CRADA BNL is actively seeking opportunities to participate in cooperative research and development programs with industry, university, and/or state and local government participants. Such cooperative research programs are formalized by a CRADA between the participants. Basically a contract for working on R&D with the Lab • Frequently with private sector partner • BNL can not provide funds to the other participant(s) • Funds can be supplied by or via private sector, or • Funds from government grants – SBIRs/STTRs, BAAs, NYSERDA, etc. • Protects and defines IP arrangements

  20. More Ways of Working with BNL • Sponsored Research Agreement – “Work for Others.” • Non federal sponsors;Non proprietary or proprietary • DOE approval required;BNL is PI • Can be multi-organizational, including industrial partners • Technical Service Agreements • Full Cost Recovery; SB “discount” • research and technical assistance to organizations, including industry, universities, non-profit institutions, and state and local government • User Agreements • for accessing BNL Designated User Facilities – NSLS, CFN, RADTEC , etc. • Purchase Orders – Purchased Services • Short duration consulting type of work
