ENERGY RELATED INVENTIONS PROGRAM A Joint Program of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS STATUS REPORT OCTOBER 1985 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS OFFICE OF ENERGY-RELATED INVENTIONS GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND 20B97 r STATUS REPORT OF THE ENERGY-RELATED INVENTIONS PROGRAM AS OF OCTOBER 1, 1985 I. BACKGROUND The Office of Energy-Related Inventions (OERI) was established within the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) under the terms of Section 14 of the Federal Nonnuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974. Section 14 directs NBS to "give particular attention to the evaluation of all promising energy-related inventions, particularly those submitted by individual inven- tors and small companies for the purpose of obtaining direct grants" from the Department of Energy (DOE). A separate office was established within DOE to coordinate financial and other DOE support to be provided for inventions recommended by NBS. The NBS and DOE offices together constitute the Energy-Related Inventions Program. II. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM OPERATION The Energy-Related Inventions Program is jointly operated by NBS and the DOE. Funding is provided in the DOE budget (Conservation and Renewable Energy, Conservation, Energy Conversion and Utilization Technology) with NBS reimbursed for activities approved by DOE. NBS (OERI) is responsible for evaluation of inventions whether submitted directly to OERI or submitted to DOE or other agencies and forwarded to OERI. OERI is also responsible for outreach activities aimed at bringing the Program to the attention of inventors and small businesses. OERI reviews and processes all evaluation requests. Evaluation is based on three general criteria: technical feasibility, potential energy-conservation or supply impact, and commercial feasibility. Inventors are notified of the results of the evaluation in each case. Those inventions which meet the NBS criteria for recommendation are forwarded to DOE for possible support action. Inventions forwarded by the OERI to DOE are recommended by OERI as "tech- nically valid and worthy of consideration for Government support" under the NBS/DOE Inventions Program. The OERI report furnished with the trans- mittal letter explains in detail the advantages of the technology as well as any qualifications of the recommendations such as required testing. It also provides guidance to DOE and the inventor in determining the nature and extent of support to be given. Inventions recommended by OERI may be at any stage of development; some may be conceptual, others at the laboratory testing stage, while others may be in production or may be in the process of being marketed. Support to be furnished will depend largely on what is required to move invention devel- opment forward or to resolve the question of whether development should continue; the latter question is of particular interest where the NBS recommendation is based on data furnished by the inventor and the rec- ommendation is qualified by an expressed need for data validation under controlled testing conditions. U.S.I The intent by DOE in each case is to accept the NBS recommendation and provide the appropriate support. However, there will be (and have been) cases in which DOE cannot or will not provide support. DOE attempts to reach agreement between the inventor and DOE on nature and extent of support within constraints. Constraints include the capabilities of the inventor and/or the company involved, possible duplication of prior or existing DOE-funded efforts, availability of private sector support, and DOE fund limitations. It should be noted that no further technical evaluation is performed by DOE, beyond that of NBS'. DOE does reserve the right to question and reject the NBS recommendation and to restrict support because of policy and/or funding considerations . Each case is decided on the basis of individual merit and need. If DOE decides to support the invention, support can include: a grant, a contract, or direct assistance of a technical or business nature. DOE's objective is that, at the completion of this support, the inventor will be In a position to do one or more of the following : - Compete effectively in obtaining contracts from other sources (including existing government programs) , to permit further development of the invention. - Assemble, with confidence of success, the people and capital necessary to produce and market products derived from the invention through a business enterprise in which the inventor is a major participant. - Negotiate arrangements with an existing company that will develop the inventor's product for commercialization. III. EVALUATION PROCEDURES (NBS) There are three principal steps in the evaluation process used by the National Bureau of Standards' Office of Energy-Related Inventions. In the first step, Disclosure Review and Analysis, invention disclosures are either accepted or rejected for evaluation, depending upon whether or not the invention is within program scope and the disclosure is sufficiently well-prepared to enable evaluation. If accepted, a formal evaluation is initiated. First-Stage Evaluation is a technical screening in which brief opinions are obtained from OERI staff evaluators, other government scientists or engineers, or consultants or contractors. If the invention is rated as "promising" in this first-stage, Second-Stage Evaluation is initiated. ("Promising" means the invention seems to be technically feasible, have significant energy conservation or supply potential, and is economically and commercially practical.) In Second-Stage Evaluation a more in-depth analysis is conducted, resulting in a formal report. If Second-Stage Evaluation confirms the finding of "promising," the disclosure and evaluation results are forwarded with a recommendation for Government support to DOE. Throughout the process, the inventor is kept informed of the status of the evaluation. When evaluation is complete after either first-or second-stage, a letter of notification is sent to the inventor reporting the results of the evaluation. If Second-Stage Evaluation had been conducted, a copy of the second-stage invention review is also sent to the inventor. IV. SUPPORT PROCEDURES (DOE) Upon receipt of a recommendation from NBS, DOE contacts the inventor, provides details of the support procedures, and requests a statement as to the nature and extent of support desired, generally in the form of a proposal or grant application. The DOE invention coordinator works with the inventor in proposal preparation to ensure effective review of support options and to develop a satisfactory statement of work and support plan. Decisions are then made on whether or not support will be provided as well as on the nature and extent of the support. If financial support is to be provided, DOE initiates procurement action, monitors progress of the procurement action, and helps to expedite until the award is made. While financial or other support is being provided, the DOE invention coordinator monitors and assists the inventor's effort. He also maintains a status report for use by both DOE and NBS. The following computerized report from OERI lists each recommendation by OERI and briefly describes its status as of September 30, 1985. Status is described in terras of the following steps in the DOE support process : Analysis I Recommendation received from NBS and processed, file initiated, etc. Inventor requested to submit description of proposed work. Receipt of inventor's preliminary proposal initiates next stage. Analysis II Formulate options for support , based upon input from NBS , DOE program staff, and inventor. Determination of the feasible options initiates next stage. Decision Phase Statement of Work derived from above options. Inventor requested to submit supporting documents for procurement action. Prepare purchase request. Other Assistance National Laboratory testing, or business planning assistance, sometimes leading to a grant award. Procurement Step-by-step processing of all documents leading to an award of grant or contract. Award Inventor awarded grant or contract. Work commences. Final report due at end of work period. No Basis For Inventor notified that sources of support within DOE have DOE Support been investigated, but recommendation will not be supported, e.g., inventor not interested, no area of appropriate DOE support could be identified, conflict with other DOE contractors being supported. Complete Inventor has complied with all the requirements of his Statement of Work, and/or DOE assistance in this program is terminated. V. SUPPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES National Innovation Workshops (NIW) This project was initiated in early 1980 as a means of informing inventors about the Program and increasing the percentage of higher-quality inventions submitted to OERI. Another objective of the Workshop series is to assist inventors (thus to stimulate innovation in general) by putting them in touch with their community resources and by providing practical instruction in the various elements of the innovation process. Workshops are conducted in a standard format as 2-day seminars. On each day a plenary session and a luncheon session feature national-level speakers on invention and Innovation. Three 1-1/2 hour periods each day then are designated in which 8 to 10 concurrent Workshop sessions are conducted. The Workshops are organized as regional activities by a committee composed of representatives from such regional organizations as universities, venture or other financing groups, private sector institutions concerned with tech- nological innovation, state and local government agencies, patent law associations, etc. Federal involvement is restricted to provide guidance and financial support. The federal role is catalytic in nature in that Workshop feasibility is demonstrated with the expectation that the regional committee will continue Workshops and similar activities in the future without federal involvement. Twenty-nine NIWs have been held to date. Others scheduled are: Salt Lake City, Utah - November 15-16, 1985; Honolulu, HI - December 6-7, 1985; Newark, New Jersey - March 21-22, 1986; St. Louis, MO - May 9-10, 1986; and New England in the Spring of 1986. Attendance has averaged about 250 inventors and small businesses. Commercialization Planning Workshops (CPW) This series of workshops was initiated in June 1984 as a mechanism for providing direct and immediate assistance to inventors recommended by NBS. Each workshop brings together a group of 10-14 recommendees for a three day meeting with a "faculty" of six workshop leaders who are selected on the basis of their expertise in at least one aspect of innovation (business planning, marketing, finance, licensing, etc.). Workshop attendance is restricted to the recommendees and the faculty. The three day meeting is devised to provide a concentrated educational/informative experience for each recommendee; travel and other meeting expenses are paid for by the Government. The objective in each case is for the recommendee to develop, with the aid of the faculty, a detailed plan for commercialization of his invention. The plan then serves as the principal basis for the DOE office to conduct their initial review of the recommendation (Analysis I) . Three workshops were held during calendar 1985 in Tucson, AZ; Leesburg, VA; and Seattle, WA.
