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.
