40 CHAPTER FOUR REPLICATION AND TRANSFERABILITY OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND PRACTICES This chapter provides a discussion on replicating and transferring the strategies or practices found to have potential to accelerate implementation of research results in transportation applications. TRANSFERABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TO AID ACCELERATION OF IMPLEMENTATION It is good news that the strategies and practices used by others in government and the private sector or academia discussed herein make sense for and can be applied to public-sector transportation practice.

44 Similar to the Joint Fire Science Program, research sponsors have a role in institutionalizing research results synopses for the transportation community at large. Sponsors can collaborate to determine standards for elements, content, and quality of synopses and can also identify channels for distribution and exchange among research results users and stakeholders.

46 work to develop a marketable product outside the relationship with the research sponsor. Additionally, public-sector transportation researcher sponsors are becoming more sophisticated in how they address ownership of intellectual property, thus fostering more opportunities for commercialization of innovations through licensing and other similar arrangements.

48 Currently, the highway community has nothing similar to the EBP program discussed earlier, which focuses on enhancing skills leading to accelerating the potential for implementing innovations. The value to the highway community is that these training activities not only provide skills and knowledge enhancements, but they spur implementation of a specific project of importance to the organization.

49 Research Transition Teams Strategy Potential Users Potential for Use Ease of Transferability Resources to Support Transfer Research Transition Teams • Sponsors and Stakeholders • Research Program Managers • Implementation Staff • Program/ Operations Units • Private Sector Technology and Innovation Firms • Academic Technology Offices High potential for use when two or more organizations are involved with creating the research result and applying the result into practice; useful for large and complex research project results that require significant change in practice. Requires collaboration between organizations and recognition of the need for spanning the gap that exists between researcher and user.
