However, we do not fund projects under technology partnership agreements. The partner provides the necessary resources and, in most cases, covers our costs of providing technical services. There are many opportunities for collaboration with the NETHERLANDS through the Technology Partnership Programme and different types of contracts. Once the agreement is signed, the partner sends funds to NREL. Once MEMBER STATES have received, processed and approved the funds, which may take 5 to 15 working days, work can begin under the Technology Partnership Agreement. Note: This is not the case for CRADAs with shared resources that can start working as soon as final DOE approval is pre-executed. .
