  1. PROJECT ON THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO CALIFORNIA MADE BY SIX MAJOR FEDERAL LABORATORIES A Briefing for CCST Patrick H. Windham October 20, 2005

  2. BACKGROUND • Draft report now before the Council for its review • Focus remains the contributions of six major federal laboratories: • Four DOE labs: LBNL, LLNL, Sandia/CA, and SLAC • Two NASA facilities: Ames and JPL • The audience: • The Governor’s office and State legislators • Members of the California Congressional delegation

  3. MAIN POINTS IN DRAFT REPORT • Labs are a vital part of California’s S&T capabilities • The labs make five types of important contributions: • Payrolls and procurements • Contributions to education and academic research • Direct contributions to industry (licenses, projects, etc.) • Indirect contributions to technology and industry (through research clusters and California’s innovation ecosystem) • Contributions to State and local government

  4. MAIN POINTS (continued) • These labs remain a largely untapped resource • Examples of how the labs could contribute more to California: • Energy conservation in buildings • Water management • Advanced equipment for first responders • But barriers exist to greater use of the laboratories by State and local officials

  5. DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS • Change State procurement law • Initiate more lab-State contacts • Assess California’s competitiveness needs

  6. A VALUABLE ADDITION: DARBY-ZUCKER DATA ON CO-AUTHORSHIP

  7. REQUEST FOR YOUR COMMENTS • We would particularly appreciate your comments on three parts of the draft report: • Executive Summary • Discussion of the indirect benefits to California technology and industry • The draft recommendations, especially regarding State agencies and the laboratories • The labs themselves are providing final edits

  8. NEXT STEPS FOR THIS REPORT • Finish review and prepare final draft • Release the report in November • Susan Hackwood will coordinate rollout strategy: • Preparation of summaries and handouts • Main release and possible laboratory-specific events • Briefings in Sacramento and possibly Washington • Actions to implement recommendations

  9. POSSIBLE NEXT STEPS IN CCST’S FEDERAL LABORATORIES PROJECT • Quantitative documentation of the labs’ contributions to California knowledge and industry • Possible Darby-Zucker analysis and documentation • Other possible topics: • The value to labs of university management and partnerships • Laboratory contributions to educating California’s workforce
