Federally funded research and development centers

# Federally funded research and development centers - FFRDC Public-private partnerships (do these need to be non profits) that conduct research for US government (only US government?) Each FFRDC has a an administrator organization and one or more sponsoring organization FFRDC administrators can be: * Industrial Firms * Non-university non profits * Universities FFRDCs There are a number of FFRDCs that are “phased out” - for example, Mound Laboratories (which was managed by Monsanto (wut? I guess it makes sense - managing a nuclear lab makes it easy to pivot to radiation-driven GMOs) ) what does this entail? [[How many of the employees at FFRDCs places are doing research?]] [[What are the advantages to aggregating research in FFRDCs?]] [[How is the research agenda set at FFRDCs?]] 1.
