The Innovative Partnership Program Office (IPPO) provides needed technology and capabilities for NASA’s Mission Directorates,
Programs and Projects through investments and partnerships with Industry, Academia,
Government Agencies and National Laboratories. As one of NASA’s Mission Support Offices, IPPO supports all Mission Directorates and has Program Offices at each of the NASA Centers. In addition to leveraged
technology investments, dual-use technology-related partnerships, and technology solutions for NASA, IPP enables cost avoidance, and accelerates technology maturation.
IPP consists of the following program elements: Technology Infusion which
includes the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) Programs and the IPP Seed Fund; Innovation Incubator which includes
Centennial Challenges and new efforts such as facilitating the purchase of services from
the emerging commercial space sector; and Partnership Development which includes
Intellectual Property management and Technology Transfer, and new innovative
partnerships. Together these program elements increase NASA's connection to emerging
technologies in external communities, enable targeted positioning of NASA's technology
portfolio in selected areas, and secure NASA's intellectual property to provide fair access
and to support NASA's strategic goals. Technology transfer through dual-use partnerships
and licensing also creates many important socio-economic benefits within the broader
community.
We invite you to visit these sites to explore NASA technology and to access opportunities
for technology transfer, development and collaboration with NASA.

JPL Nanotubes Help Advance Brain Tumor Research
The potential of carbon nanotubes to diagnose and treat brain tumors is being explored through a partnership between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., and City of Hope, a leading cancer research and treatment center in Duarte, Calif.... City of Hope researchers hope to boost the brain's own immune response against tumors by delivering cancer-fighting agents via nanotubes. A nanotube is about 50,000 times narrower than a human hair, but it length can extend up to several centimeters. + Read More
