	The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: A Snapshot of Some of the Agencies The panel, moderated by David Koegel of the U.S. Department of Energy, discusses how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has affected government agencies, with an emphasis on how the federal laboratory system has benefited. A $787 billion program, ARRA (P.L. 111-5) was signed into law by President Obama in February 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart the economy, create/save millions of jobs, and make a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so the country can thrive in the 21st century. Some of the most significant challenges involved the rapidity at which the funds had to be committed (for many, by the end of FY 2010 or FY 2011) and ultimately spent (end of 2015), and the unprecedented level of transparency and accountability (e.g. reporting requirements) involved. Other panel members include: Patrick G. Barry, PE, Agricultural Research Service Facilities Division; Stephen J. Elsner, NASA; Larry Chloupek, DHHS/NIH/OD
	Innovation and Entrepreneurship: How can the Federal Government Help? Part 1 Representatives from NIH and NIST address the importance of consolidating and streaming federal data to facilitate search and retrieval to outside parties, thereby fostering technology transfer and enabling economic development.

	FLC 2010 National Meeting, Local Stimulus Offices Case Studies, Part 1 Various federal laboratories have established special in-house resources tasked with reviewing opportunities from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and identifying grants for which the laboratory can serve as the lead applicant, team with another organization, or offer assistance in the preparation of a grant proposal. As federal laboratories, their goal is to assist the nation, states, and local communities in meeting the objectives of the act: clean energy and a transformed economy through science and technology. For example, at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Stimulus Project Team identifies applicable opportunities, coordinates proposals, provides ongoing communications, integrates reporting, and supports execution of ARRA funding (DOE and non-DOE funding). Panel members include: Belinda Padilla, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Carolyn Zerkle, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Marianne Lynch, SAIC-Frederick and NCI-Frederick; and Cindy Gerk, National Renewable Energy Laboratory

	Open Your Door and Step Outside: Networking with Local Industry Organizations to Facilitate Technology Transfer Goals Building trust and rapport with researchers for successful technology transfer outcomes depends on interacting with them on a regular basis. Increasingly, technology transfer offices are connecting with their researchers over coffee or hors d'oeuvres rather than in the office. The more informal approach is intended to root out innovations and proactively link researchers with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and other resources that can accelerate collaboration. Hear from various New Mexico industry organizations about how bridges between federal laboratories and the resources they need to succeed in commercialization help to create a more vibrant tech community around the New Mexico laboratories. Panelists are Todd Hand, Talent Capital Group; Belinda Padilla, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Stephanie Spong, EPIC Ventures; Lisa Adkins, Solution Werx Inc; and Cynthia Kaiser, Air Force Research Laboratory.

The Idaho National Lab originally developed and tested the Floor robot. The company has also developed an explosion-proof seal robot that can inspect seals of floating roof tanks as well as “profile” tanks to determine maintenance schedules. Robotic inspection saves up to 80 percent compared with “out-of-service” inspections, is environmentally friendly since the tank is not vented or emptied, and is safer since there is no “hazardous entry.” INTREPID estimates the annual worldwide robotic tank inspection market at upwards of $4 billion. INTREPID seeks funding to build the first two sets of Floor and Seal models and has commitments to perform inspections at several of the major oil and gas companies.
