The Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is tasked with seeking out and forming successful partnerships to meet NASA mission needs. To achieve this goal, IPP:

• Strategically evaluates Goddard’s R&D needs as well as its new technologies
  
• Performs market-based analyses to determine areas of overlap between Goddard’s needs and technologies and those of industry, academia, and other government agencies
  
• Identifies external innovations to accelerate solutions to meet Goddard’s needs
  
• Finds new applications for Goddard-developed innovations
  
• Forms the partnership, licensing, and other agreements to effect technology transfer

In performing these tasks, IPP utilizes best practices while innovating for efficient and effective solutions.
