Federal Demonstration Partnership

The Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) is a collaboration involving the U.S. government, research institutions, and universities aimed at improving the way federal research grants are managed. Established to reduce administrative burdens on researchers, the FDP seeks to streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and promote effective use of federal funds. By testing innovative practices and policies, the partnership aims to make it easier for institutions to conduct research and for the government to support and oversee that research effectively. This ultimately helps advance scientific discovery and innovation nationwide.
