CRADAs are one of the primary means by which technology is transferred from the DOE laboratories to the private sector . The agreement with Symyx to accept partial payment in the form of equity was the first of its kind negotiated by any UC-managed lab and among the first by any DOE laboratory . A combined education and research program for minority colleges and universities focuses on developing collaborative global change research ties between minority colleges and universities and ongoing global change research programs at the DOE laboratories , thereby diversifying and increasing America 's scientific workforce in global change research . In response to the these concerns , DHS 's Under Secretary for Science and Technology indicated in a March 4 , 2004 , letter to a Member of Congress that DHS would allow each DOE laboratory to choose whether it wished to be designated as an intramural or extramural laboratory . DHS / S & T will be conducting an initial review in the fourth quarter of FY 2004 of the DOE Laboratory Directed Research and Development funding . This agreement between the DOE laboratories and the private sector will facilitate transfer of many aspects of DOE technology to a clinical device that has the potential of restoring sight to millions of blind individuals . Instead , decisions regarding which laboratories would become part of the intramural program were made based on DHS 's understanding of each DOE laboratory 's core competencies and the laboratory 's ability to help meet the intramural program 's mission requirements . The team 's recommendations could include the redirection , conversion , or closure of elements within the DOE laboratory system . Additionally , we analyzed the amount of funding each DOE laboratory received from DHS for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 .
