ATP's Ongoing Focused Programs and their Managers
ATP Contact Points
The Advanced Technology Program:
What it is, What it does.
The Advanced Technology Program is a unique partnership between U.S. industry and government to advance the nation's competitiveness -- and economy -- by
developing high-risk but powerful new technologies that enable a broad spectrum of
potential new applications, commercial products, and services. Through
cooperative agreements with individual companies or groups of companies, large
and small, the ATP invests in industrial projects to develop technologies with high-payoff potential for the nation. The ATP accelerates technologies that -- because
they are risky -- are unlikely to be developed in time to compete in rapidly changing
world markets without such a partnership of industry and government. By sharing
the cost of such projects, the ATP catalyzes industry to pursue promising
technologies.
|
Managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the ATP has a
unique set of features that distinguishes it
from other technology development programs
in the government. These include:
Focus on economic benefit: ATP projects are
selected explicitly for broad-based benefits to
the nation's economy -- innovative
technologies that can be expected to lead to
new or improved world-class products and
industrial processes.
Rigorous, competitive selection process:
project proposals are evaluated for both their
scientific and technical merit and the business
and economic merit of the proposed use of
the technology.
Industry orientation: ATP projects are
conceived, proposed, managed and executed
by private industry in response to its analysis
of market opportunities. Industry shares in
the cost of the projects.
How the ATP Works
While government provides the catalyst --
and in many cases, critical technical support
-- industry conceives, manages, and
executes ATP projects. Management of
projects is geared to ensure that the work
performed is what industry believes should be
done and is what it can do best.
The ATP conducts competitions to select
R&D projects for support. Only project
proposals submitted in response to a formal
competition are considered. (Competitions are
announced in the Commerce Business Daily
and by direct mail, among other channels.)
ATP information is available via the Internet's
World Wide Web. The address is:
http://www.atp.nist.gov. Contact ATP via
mail, telephone, fax, or electronic mail at the
addresses given elsewhere in this booklet to
get on the ATP mailing list and to receive a
copy of the ATP applicant kit, which
describes the entire selection process and
selection criteria in more detail.
The ATP emphasizes cost sharing -- ATP
recipients on average pay more than half the
total costs of the R&D. This helps ensure that
companies have a vested interest in the
success of projects and in timely
commercialization. At the same time,
participation by small companies and
start-ups is not precluded because the
single-applicant requirement for cost sharing
is that the company cover its indirect costs.
Since most start-ups and small companies
have low indirect cost rates, this requirement
is not prohibitive.
Projects are evaluated against a list of
criteria, including:
- the scientific and technical merit of the
proposal,
- the potential for broad-based economic
benefits to the U.S.,
- the quality of the plans for eventual
commercialization of the technology -- the
ATP does not fund product development, but
the proposal should indicate plans for
capitalizing on a successful project,
- the level of commitment of the proposer(s)
and the adequacy of their organizational
structure, and
- the experience and qualifications of the
proposer(s).
Each proposal is reviewed thoroughly by
scientists and engineers expert in the subject
area -- a common procedure for government
technology programs. But ATP proposals also
undergo an evaluation of potential economic
impact, evidence of significant commitment
to the project on the part of the proposer,
and other business-related factors affecting
the likelihood that successful results will be
commercialized.
The scientific and technical reviewers are
primarily Federal scientists and engineers to
avoid conflict-of-interest problems and
protect proprietary information. Business
reviews are conducted primarily by experts
from the private sector who are carefully
screened to avoid conflicts of interest and
who must abide by non-disclosure
requirements. Semifinalists receive in-depth
oral reviews. Proposals are ranked according
to published selection criteria, and funding is
awarded on the basis of the ranking. This
merit-based selection process has been fully
tested and refined and is essential to the
effectiveness of the ATP.
The ATP also takes an active role in helping
to ensure the success of the projects it
supports. ATP program managers maintain
close, cooperative relationships with their
counterparts in industry, offering advice and
technical assistance as necessary. Expertise
of the NIST intramural laboratories can often
be brought to bear to assist companies in
solving difficult technical problems that arise
in the course of their ATP-funded R&D.
Focused Programs in the ATP
Started in 1990, the ATP has become an
effective and important element of the
nation's technology strategy, retaining its
essential characteristics of objectivity,
fairness and efficiency.
Until 1994, the ATP used general
competitions open to proposals in all areas of
technology as its sole investment mechanism.
Since then, the ATP has added a new
element to its investment strategy -- focused
program competitions. Each type of
competition has its unique advantages.
General competitions ensure that all good
ideas receive consideration, no matter what
the technology area. Focused programs have
proved to be an effective way of achieving
more synergy and leverage in specific areas.
Seventeen focused programs are underway as of
April 1996.
Each focused program within ATP has well-defined research and business goals. Often
these involve the parallel development of a
suite of interlocking R&D projects. By
managing groups of projects which
complement and reinforce each other, the
ATP can increase its impact on technology
and the economy. Specific program areas are
selected based on ideas from industry to
preserve the strongly industry-oriented
outlook which has characterized the ATP
from its start.
Under each program, individual ATP
projects will still be selected under the ATP's
standard competitive process.
Focused programs are not open-ended. They typically involve three solicitations, each
with approximately $8-10M in first-year federal funding which is matched by industry.
Focused programs are reevaluated before solicitations to determine whether they are still
addressing industry's critical needs. Since every focused program has a fixed life span,
there will be a turnover of programs as some are completed and others started.
Programs: What are we looking for?
ATP programs are selected based on four
major criteria:
- Potential for U.S. economic benefit.
- Good technical ideas.
- Strong industry commitment.
- The opportunity for ATP funds to make a significant difference.
ATP selects program areas based on
suggestions from industry -- where do you
think we should invest? We encourage you
to send us a "white paper" in which you
outline your idea for a focused program and
explain how your idea is consistent with the
selection criteria noted above. Because we
intend to share white papers with industry
broadly, program idea white papers must
contain no proprietary information.
In your white paper state as succinctly as
possible the goals of the proposed program:
- The technology(ies) to be developed
- The new industrial capabilities to be achieved
Discuss briefly how this might be done, and
how these goals address our four criteria.
Note that we do not want to hear only about
a project that your company would like to
undertake. White papers should not focus on
ideas for individual R&D projects, although
you may include examples of project ideas to
illustrate the kinds of technologies to be
pursued in the program. White papers must
define a broader program in which many
companies in your industry would want to
participate. So, in writing a white paper, put
on your industry hat rather than your
company hat. The most common deficiency
in white papers is that they have more of a
project focus than a program focus.
Remember, do not include proprietary
information.
The following guidelines will help you address
the criteria. We recognize that you may not
have enough information at first to answer all
these questions, but don't let that stop you
from sending in a suggestion. If an area
sounds promising, we will work with you and
others to refine the program. But the more
information you can give us at the beginning,
the better we'll be able to evaluate the
proposed program. The examples are for
illustration only: we have no prejudices for or
against the technologies mentioned.
Potential for U.S. Economic Benefit
The whole point of the Advanced Technology
Program is to foster significant economic
benefits for the country.
Trace the path by which the technical
developments under the proposed program
will lead to significant economic benefits for
the nation. Give us a logical explanation of
how the proposed program will lead to
economic growth. How should the R&D
program be directed to support the economic
goals? How will this be reflected in
integrated research and business strategies?
What will be the likely effect on the U.S.
workforce if the program succeeds and is
carried forward to commercialization? How
can the proposed program lead to economic
growth, with a focus on a rising standard of
living? What effect would an ATP program
likely have on commercial prospects for this
technology -- taking into account national
and international trends?
How important to the economy are the
industrial sectors that would be most affected
by your program area?
How important could they be if the program succeeds? Give evidence that the sectors of
the economy that will be affected are either sufficient to generate large national economic
benefit, or that they are strategically important in some other way -- perhaps
improvements in that sector enable large economic benefits in other sectors. What
advantage would the proposed technology confer? A major technological advance in a
relatively small industrial sector could be as advantageous as a lesser advance in a much
larger sector, and vice versa. We are willing to consider programs that would create new
industries as well as those that would cause a leap forward in a well-established industry.
EXAMPLE
Potential for U.S. economic benefit:
The ATP focused program in Information Infrastructure for Healthcare was established to develop the information technology tools necessary to catalyze the creation of a broad-based, highly flexible, information infrastructure for the nation's healthcare industry. The ATP program concentrates on enabling technologies for reliable storage and retrieval of complex medical information; data-driven, real-time support for medical decisions; flexible, real-time data entry by medical personnel; real-time global transport of complex medical records with accuracy, speed and security; and computer-based medical training, diagnostic and reference tools.
What would be the economic impact of such a program? In 1994, medical spending in the U.S. topped $938 billion--one dollar out of every seven was spent on healthcare. Rising healthcare costs are widely considered to be a major force in lowering U.S. competitiveness and straining government resources. More effective use of information technology could play an important role in reducing this burden. A study by Health and Human Services, for example, estimated that a nationwide electronic healthcare information network could provide savings in excess of $100 billion over the next eight years. Another study estimated that improved data communications applications could save up to $36.6 billion annually by more efficient information management. In addition to the direct savings to the healthcare industry (plus the benefit to patients of improved healthcare systems), the ATP program will enable U.S. industry to develop state-of-the-art computer systems and services for the worldwide healthcare market, one of the fastest-growing market segments in the computer industry. Worldwide sales of computer systems for medical applications could ready $800 million in 1996 by some estimates. |
When you are estimating economic benefits, identify the production and distribution
industries and the end-use markets that would be affected, and discuss the expected
impact on employment and the gross domestic product. If the purpose of the
program is to develop new industries and markets, assess their potential. (ATP White
Papers are often initiated by technical people, who may not have easy access to data on
such topics. We urge those writing white papers to discuss these kinds of
business/economic issues with the marketing departments of their firms, with industry
associations, or with outside industry observers and "futurists" who monitor such
issues.)
Will industry be able to commercialize the results of the proposed program? There
should be a high probability that commercial products or processes will follow from
successful completion of the R&D. You should assess industry's commitment to the
proposed program area. Will it follow through on commercialization? What are non-technical barriers to commercialization, both
at home and abroad, and how will they be overcome? We will expect you to consider all
of the critical elements that affect the program's success, not simply technological challenges. What effect would an ATP
program likely have on the commercial prospects of this technology?
Good Technical Ideas
We are looking for revolutionary programs with the potential to bring fundamental
change to industry.
EXAMPLE
Good technical ideas:
What is the technology "baseline" for your proposed program area? How is the technology expected to improve as a result of the efforts of industry and existing government programs? What might the ATP add to this? The ATP focused program in
Digital Data Storage was established to foster research in six technologies critical to the development of the next generations of high-performance data storage devices. The digital data storage industry does about $100 billion a year in business, and already sponsors significant, highly successful, research efforts. To have a measurable impact, the ATP program needs to address issues that would enable advances markedly beyond the current industry trend--in which data storage capability doubles about every three years. In this case, the ATP program targets high-risk technologies that could boost data density by a factor of ten above the historical trend of technology development. |
What are the major technical barriers to be overcome? What innovative technologies will erase those barriers?
We welcome "cutting-edge" technologies that entail a high degree of technical risk. We are
looking for "technological non-linearities" -- opportunities for a relatively small research
effort to leverage major advances for an industry.
What is the current state of the art for this technology, and what are the technology
trends? How do you expect the technology to advance, based on industry investment,
without the ATP? How will this be accelerated or changed by establishing an
ATP program?
Give evidence that the proposed R&D is founded on sound scientific and technical
grounds.
Strong Industry Commitment
EXAMPLE
Strong industry commitment:
The primary goal of the ATP focused program in Manufacturing Composites Structures is to trigger the creation of U.S. infrastructure -- first-and second-tier suppliers -- supporting the use of polymer composites for large-scale structures in markets such as surface transportation, civil infrastructure (bridges, e.g.) and off shore oil production. Key to this is the development of basic enabling technologies that support the integration of reliable, cost-effective, high-performance composite materials in industries with no previous experience in using such materials -- a task requiring coordinated efforts of raw-materials suppliers, composites fabricators, and end-users. The Manufacturing Composite Structures program evolved from a set of white papers received by the ATP early in 1994 and the work of an industry-led team assembled from the white-paper authors. A striking feature of the program design was the support of the organizations that spanned the production chain, including materials suppliers (SACMA), the civil construction industry (Civil Engineering Research Foundation), and manufacturers (The Composites Institute of SPI), as well as major corporate players
(duPont, Chrysler, and Amoco).
|
We intend these programs to be partnerships.
Give evidence that a reasonable segment of the industry is ready and willing to work with
the ATP and with one another as needed to achieve the program's goals. Would the
program require horizontal alliances? Vertical alliances? Both? Are the industry players
prepared to build these relationships?
Give some measure of the breadth and depth of industry's interest in the proposed program.
Describe industry's willingness to share the costs of the R&D. Estimate the level of
resources that industry is likely to put towards the proposed program.
Opportunity for ATP Funding to Make a
Significant Difference
EXAMPLE
Opportunity for ATP funding to make a difference:
We don't duplicate other Federal investment, but we are open to ideas that complement existing work. The ATP focused program in Tools for DNA Diagnostics, for example, complements the Human Genome Project, a massive DNA technology research effort funded by the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. The Human Genome Project Supports basic research to develop technology for large-scale DNA sequencing, but it does not address the quite technologies needed to use DNA information for diagnostic applications. The ATP program in this case fills a void in the support of DNA diagnostic technologies important to the nation's healthcare, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as applications in forensics and environmental monitoring. |
In other words, why the ATP? Is the proposed program unique? If not,
what related efforts are underway, either by industry or government?
How would the ATP program complement these efforts?
One reason for the ATP to back an area is to provide the critical mass
of support and funding necessary to accelerate work in hotly competitive
fields. What is the international competition? Is time of
the essence?
Can we realistically hope to meet the program goals?
Will the combined industry and government
funding be adequate to exploit the technological opportunity in the critical
time frame?
To achieve significant economic impact, the ATP's funds must be
highly leveraged. If the program is successful, will our relatively small
investment lead to far greater investment by industry in subsequent
development and commercialization?
Explain why Federal funding in general, and ATP funding in particular,
is needed in order to achieve the large potential economic
benefit to the nation.
What Happens to the Suggestions?
ATP acknowledges receipt of all program ideas, and logs a
summary and information on the submitting organization(s) in a
computer database. ATP technical and economic assessment staff review
the ideas and consult with outside experts. We typically receive
some fully developed program ideas that provide information
addressing all of the program criteria. In other cases, we receive
incompletely developed ideas or complementary ideas that need to be
woven together into a more complete and cohesive program. ATP
program managers are responsible for further developing promising
program ideas, weaving together interrelated ideas, and working with
industry to define robust programs.
The program planning process includes defining specific technical and
business goals and developing a program plan for achieving those
goals. Program managers use a variety of mechanisms to
develop programs including public workshops, informal
meetings, data collections, analytical studies, etc. Our public
workshops are a particularly effective way of hearing first-hand
industry's thoughts on potential focused programs.
We carry out a number of program planning activities in parallel. All
program ideas are not expected to be incorporated into
programs and all planned programs are not expected to be funded.
The ATP will assign priorities and allocate available funds among
programs on the basis of how well the proposed programs meet the four
selection criteria.
Executing an ATP Program
When funding for a new program is approved, we publish a proposal
solicitation announcement in the Commerce Business
Daily. We also notify potential applicants via direct mail and the World
Wide Web. Multiple competitions over several years may be held for
each program. Competitions are generally expected to
result in multiple awards to both single-company and joint-venture
applicants. The proposal solicitation for each competition will describe
the specific technology areas covered by that competition, and the
program's technology and business goals.
Program competitions follow the established rules and procedures for
all ATP competitions. Legislatively mandated limitations on eligibility of
organizations, cost-sharing, funding ceilings, and duration of
awards for single-company applicants and joint ventures are the
same as for general competitions. Proposals are accepted only in
response to formal solicitations. Awards are made only through these
competitions.
ATP actively manages for success but avoids micro-management. We
work continuously to minimize bureaucracy and paperwork. We aim
to help awardees create linkages to other organizations that might
enhance project success. Our management approach is to add value
by asking questions and not by imposing solutions. Our goal is to
manage so that program results are greater than the results of individual
projects.
Choosing Program Areas: Make Your Voice Heard
The ATP depends on inspiration and input of a constant supply of good ideas from
industry. Here's how to make your ideas heard:
|
Draw up a letter or short "white paper" (it need not be more than 10 pages)
describing the program idea.
|
|
State clearly the technical and business goals to be achieved by the end of the
program. Outline the R&D plans in broad terms.
|
|
Discuss how the proposed program meets the criteria detailed above. Address as
many of the points as possible, but don't let incomplete information stop you from
sending in the suggestion.
|
|
Think you can pose a better approach to evaluating programs than we have? Send
us your thoughts -- we are continuously refining our process.
|
|
Do NOT include proprietary information! Expect your white paper to be widely
copied and circulated. Mark the paper NON-PROPRIETARY.
|
|
Include a Title Page clearly marked PROGRAM IDEA with the following information:
|
|
Send it to us. Mail (5 copies please):
