Abstract:
To facilitate delivery and use of the Fuels Planning: Science Synthesis and Integration Project's (Project) products, the Project team engaged in a series of technology transfer activities throughout the life of the project. These included bringing land managers into the design and development phase, funding and staffing a specific delivery phase, and conducting an external evaluation to focus future activities. Our plans were informed by concepts central to the diffusion of the innovation theory; in turn, our activities deepened our understanding of the theory and its application to fuels management.Keywords: wildland fire decision support tools; science delivery; technology transfer
