From page 66... ...
Often people performing research results implementation in state DOTs are not always technology transfer or implementation specialists and therefore may benefit by having a resource that will guide them through some of the basic processes needed for enhancing their implementation efforts. The goal is to get technology transferred and methods, processes, and products put into practice more effectively.
