FLC Members Labs Win National R&D 100 Awards
Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) member laboratories and innovation hubs won several awards at the 2017 R&D 100 Awards, chosen from a pool of both private industry and laboratories around the country.
The R&D 100 Awards honor innovative technologies that were first available for purchase or licensing between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Entries are judged by experts chosen from professional consultants, university faculty, and industrial researchers with expertise and experience in the areas they are judging.
The FLC was also represented in two-day educational conference that preceded the awards ceremony. FLC Chair John Dement, NASA Agency Representative Dan Lockney, and FLC Member-at-Large Janeya Griffin were all tapped to speak to the audience of industry professionals and researchers.
In addition to the winners listed below, many labs were honored as co-developers or award finalists. Find the full list of winners and finalists here.
