Sec. 295.11  Technical and educational services for ATP recipients.

    (a) Under the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986, the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology of the Technology Administration 
has the authority to enter into cooperative research and development 
agreements with non-Federal parties to provide personnel, services, 
facilities, equipment, or other resources except funds toward the 
conduct of specified research or development efforts which are 
consistent with the missions of the laboratory. In turn, the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology has the authority to accept funds, 
personnel, services, facilities, equipment and other resources from the 
non-Federal party or parties for the joint research effort. Cooperative 
research and development agreements do not include procurement contracts 
or cooperative agreements as those terms are used in sections 6303, 
6304, and 6305 of title 31, United States Code.
    (b) In no event will the National Institute of Standards and 
Technology enter into a cooperative research and development agreement 
with a recipient of awards under the Program which provides for the 
payment of Program funds from the award recipient to the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology.
    (c) From time to time, ATP may conduct public workshops and 
undertake other educational activities to foster the collaboration of 
funding Recipients with other funding resources for purposes of further 
development and commercialization of ATP-related technologies. In no 
event will ATP provide recommendations, endorsements, or approvals of 
any ATP funding Recipients to any outside party.
