Abstract:

The Advanced Technology Program (ATP) is a public-private partnership to support technology innovation in the United States through competitive funding awards to companies pursuing high-risk R&D. A key mission of the ATP is to promote collaborative R&D in U.S. industry. Since 1991, ATP has funded nearly 200 research joint ventures involving over 800 companies, universities, and other organizations. A special survey of ATP joint venture participants was conducted to assess the characteristics and outcomes of these ATP-supported R&D collaborations. The survey data are combined with existing archival data to conduct analysis. We analyze characteristics of these joint venture projects, the experience of project participants in the R&D collaboration, and research and commercial outcomes. In particular, we present qualitative perceptual measures of project success reported by participants, quantitative measures of research outcomes such as patent applications, and quantitative measures of commercial outcomes such as product revenues and cost savings.
