Outreach/Tech Transfer
• Both DAMARS & STARMAP have same tech transfer objectives, but have different emphases: – STARMAP -- learning materials – DAMARS -- demonstration projects SAC 2004 29
State of the Program Outreach
• Success in tech transfer depends on having States, Tribes, (& EPA) use techniques & tools – Foster client use of both design & analysis tools • “build it & they will come” doesn’t work • Need active participation in target projects – Cooperative agreement • Work with EPA • Work on EPA-sponsored projects • Work on projects share EPA goals • Use data generated by EPA projects SAC 2004 30
State of the Program Outreach
• Collaboration that brings statistical perspective to multi-disciplinary research team – Source for new challenges that drives the development of new methodology & theory – Requires high level of commitment – Substantial time requirement – Example: GLEI, an EaGLE STAR Program SAC 2004 31
