The Federal Demonstration Partnership is a cooperative initiative among 10 federal agencies and 120 institutional recipients of federal funds for Phase V. Our Chair and Vice-Chair are Dr. Susan Sedwick from the University of Texas at Austin and Dr. David Robinson from the Oregon Health & Sciences University. The FDP is a program sponsored by the Government, University, Industry Research Round Table of the National Academies. Its purpose is to reduce the administrative burdens associated with research grants and contracts. The interaction between FDP’s 300 or so university and federal representatives takes place in FDP’s 3 annual meetings and, more extensively, in the many collaborative working groups and task forces that meet often by conference calls in order to develop specific work products. The FDP is a unique forum for individuals from universities and nonprofits to work collaboratively with federal agency officials to improve the national research enterprise. At its regular meetings, FDP members hold spirited, frank discussions, identify problems, and develop action plans for change. Then these new ways of doing business are tested in the real world before putting them into effect. [more]
