Who We Are
The Federal Demonstration Partnership is an association of federal agencies and academic research institutions with administrative, faculty and technical representation. FDP works to streamline the administration of federally sponsored research and create resources that are available to the research enterprise, regardless of membership status.
FDP is unique in its ability to collaborate with federal agencies, universities, and research institutes to help reduce administrative burden and move research forward.
Our Purpose
Researchers doing research, not administration
The FDP’s mission is to streamline the administration of federally sponsored research and foster collaboration to enhance the national research enterprise while maintaining high standards of stewardship and accountability. Our goal is for researchers to spend more time doing research and less time on administration.
