Partnering OpportunitiesERDC actively engages in research and development with

government, academic, and industrial entities:

otential Partners Military branchesFederal laboratoriesFederal, state, and local government agenciesIndustryNon-profit organizationsAcademic institutions

Agreement Types Contract Cooperative Agreement CRADA Grant PIA MOA MOU


ERDC-CERL Agreement Types BAA Action (Broad Agency Announcement Action): ERDC-CERL has an open BAA for unsolicited proposals to be submitted under numerous topic areas. A contract can be awarded upon review. Money flows from ERDC-CERL to the technology partner, or contractor.

CRADA (Cooperative Research And Development Agreement): A written agreement between a private company and a government agency to work together on a project. Money can flow to ERDC-CERL. Typical length is 5 years, but can be any length.

MOA (Memorandum of Agreement): A written agreement between two parties to work together on a project. Money can flow in either direction.

MOU (Memorandum of Understanding): A written agreement between two parties to work together on a project. No money is exchanged as a part of a MOU.

PIA – (Partnership Intermediary Agreement): A written agreement between a federal research agency and a non-profit organization to assist the federal agency with technology transfer efforts. Money can flow from the federal agency to the non-profit.
