Sec.  37.115  For what purposes are TIAs used?



    The ultimate goal for using TIAs, like other assistance instruments 

used in defense research programs, is to foster the best technologies 

for future defense needs. TIAs differ from and complement other 

assistance instruments available to agreements officers, in that TIAs 

address the goal by fostering civil-military integration (see appendix A 

to this part). TIAs therefore are designed to:

    (a) Reduce barriers to commercial firms' participation in defense 

research, to give the Department of Defense (DoD) access to the broadest 

possible technology and industrial base.

    (b) Promote new relationships among performers in both the defense 

and commercial sectors of that technology and industrial base.

    (c) Stimulate performers to develop, use, and disseminate improved 

practices.
