Wide dissemination of results from DOE-sponsored R&D is also accomplished through
licensing of patented technologies, publications in technical and trade journals, presentations at
technical society meetings, workshops, and contractor coordination meetings. These reviews are
held with program managers, principal investigators and research teams to determine technical
progress, identify and address problems, and generally maintain project focus. Periodic
scheduled program review meetings provide a particularly effective means of exchanging
information within the program. These forums allow direct interaction between the federal
laboratory and industry researchers, facilitate the building of collaborative relationships, and
promote technology transfer.
Progress with respect to this MYPP will be reviewed in a 1-day meeting after two to three years
and in a 1.5-day workshop after five years.
