FY20 Annual Technology Transfer Report

Defining the new Technology Transfer (“tech transfer”) and Science Delivery at the USDA Forest Service R&D with the goal of science delivery to enhance the usefulness of scientific information - “Pulling together and synthesizing information from a range of disciplines and delivering it in clear and accessible formats to fit user needs.” USDA Forest Service science is complex, but the need for the research is simple. Land managers, forest managers, city planners, and policy-makers need sound science on all aspects of the natural world and its complex connections with people to make decisions resulting in a healthy and sustainable future for present and future generations of Americans.
