Partnering for Success: Academia

If You are with an Academic Institution

SAIC-Frederick offers business opportunities and resources through public–private partnerships and through a Work for Others (WFO) program that offers specialized expertise and technologies on a fee-for-service basis.

The NCI’s Advanced Technology Partnerships Initiative (ATPI) is designed to accelerate the delivery of new products to cancer patients, using a novel business/research model, advanced technologies, and effective public–private partnerships.

Under our Work for Others program, SAIC-Frederick can provide highly specialized or unique technical expertise, services, and facilities to private industry, state governments, local governments, colleges, universities, nonprofit, not-for-profit, foreign companies, and foreign governments.

These unique services and technologies are available by way of a bilateral contract with SAIC-Frederick, under which SAIC-Frederick will perform a defined scope of work in return for payment.

To assure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and directives, SAIC-Frederick has prescribed the terms and conditions under which the work can be performed.

Available technologies include those for genomics, proteomics, imaging, nanotechnology, mouse models, high-throughput screening, biospecimen repositories, high-performance computing and bioinformatics, biopharmaceutical development, current Good Manufacturing Practices manufacturing, associated quality assurance capabilities, and regulatory affairs programs that support Investigational New Drug (IND) applications.
