CRADAs That Don’t Stall in Coordination

CRADAs can unlock serious research collaboration—but they often stall due to unclear roles, slow coordination, and weak transition planning. AMDEF helps government, academic, and small business partners structure CRADAs to produce usable outcomes and move technology forward.

✔ Clear roles & scope

✔ Execution rhythm

✔ Transition built-in

What AMDEF Does with CRADAs

  • Align partner roles, technical scope, and deliverables early
  • Define results that matter: data, prototypes, interfaces, test outcomes
  • Maintain execution rhythm so collaboration doesn’t drift
  • Keep transition planning active throughout—not after the fact

Where CRADAs Work Best

Shared Research Problems

Multiple beneficiaries and clear value from joint research outcomes.

Early-Stage Maturation

Work that needs credible partners and measurable technical progress.

Foundation for Follow-On

Building technical evidence and alignment for later contracting pathways.

Turn Collaboration Into Forward Motion

AMDEF helps CRADA partners maintain execution discipline and transition readiness from day one.
