1. Start the Conversation
Whether you already have a Berkeley Lab researcher in mind or need help finding the right expert, contact the Strategic Partnership Office (SPO) to kick off the proposal process. We’ll provide specific guidance to get you started.
2. Develop the Project Plan
Working together, you and Berkeley Lab will create a detailed statement of work (SOW), outlining the project’s scope, deliverables, schedule, and budget.
3. Determine Feasibility
Once the SOW is in place, we assess the project’s feasibility. If everything looks good, the next step is for the partner to complete registration. We’ll also discuss potential funding sources, whether through grants or private funding.
4. Submit the Proposal
Our team will work with you to finalize the proposal, which includes terms and conditions for your review.
5. Finalize the Agreement
Once the proposal is approved, we’ll finalize the agreement and ensure all parties sign off.
6. Get to Work
With the agreement in place and funding secured, work can officially begin. Berkeley Lab will start the project once the funds are authorized and received.
Whatever the stage of your innovation, from concept to global impact, consider teaming up with us.
