Equipping You to Do Technical Transfer
Technical transfer requires significant time, skills, and expertise, which are rarely explicitly taught or supported. Thus, many people engage in technical transfer with limited capacity or resources. Led by the Intermountain West Joint Venture and the Institute for Natural Resources, the Sagebrush Technical Transfer Network seeks to equip those who support others in using technical information with resources, training, and a professional network to support and strengthen their technical transfer work.
What We Provide
A network of technical transfer professionals
Resources to improve your technical transfer skills
Trainings and workshops to build skills and capacity for technical transfer
Our Vision
Decisions relating to resource management are informed by relevant science, information and technology. Science producers work closely with end-users to deliver information in an accessible and interpretable format, and managers and practitioners are empowered to incorporate this information into their decision-making.
Our Content
The Technical Transfer Framework provides a flexible, 5-step guide to planning and implementing technical transfer efforts for anyone who supports others in using technical information within resource management. It focuses on building skills to execute an effective technical transfer effort, emphasizing what is done before, during, and after technical transfer.
Our Framework is guided by 4 concise and actionable Shared Principles of Technical Transfer. Additionally, we have developed a Technical Transfer Planning Worksheet to complement the Framework with additional questions and guidance for your technical transfer team as you plan a technical transfer effort. The Technical Transfer Reflection Worksheet supports your team in evaluating what went well and what could be improved for next time.
