A -- RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SOL 00-010 DUE 031000 POC Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization -- Media Hotline -- (925) 423-3139 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Seeking Industrial Partner For Solid State/Thin Film Sensors Project. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking an industrial partner to participate in the Department of Energy's (DOE) Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) Program. The successful candidate will participate in a project with LLNL and a research team located in Russia. The Russian team identified for this particular project has expertise in solid state, thin-film chemical sensor technology, and has developed an ammonia probe/meter and a hydrogen peroxide probe/meter. The scope and content of the project will be defined by LLNL, the industrial partner and the Russian team. DOE may contribute up to $1,000,000 to fund the project; the industrial partner will be required to match the DOE funding with an in-kind (i.e., non-cash) contribution. The principal goal of IPP is to enhanceU.S. national security through the engagement of scientists, engineers, and technicians from Former Soviet Union weapons institutes. The chosen industrial partner would participate in planning and executing development with the ultimate goal of marketing products that emerge from the development. Thus, LLNL prefers candidates who already have an established business in the development, manufacturing and selling of chemical sensors. A successful program would lead to commercial and economic benefits for both the industrial partner, as well as the Russian research team. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. To ensure consideration, interested parties must provide a written statement of interest including a description of corporate capabilities relevant to commercializing the technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization Office P. O.
