Description:
"OAR recently completed an inventory of all research and development (R&D) that had successfully transitioned to applications between January 2013 and July 2014. A wide variety of activities were submitted by OAR Laboratory and Program Directors as examples of transition, but, when examined closely, many did not seem to be transitions at all. It became clear that there is a lack of shared understanding about what qualifies as a bona fide 'transition.' This analysis is intended to address the cultural challenge of transition by focusing on semantics: what we mean when we say 'transition.' It was conducted determine which reported transitions were consistent with the definition of transition in NOAA Administrative Order on Transitioning Research into Applications (NAO 216-105), and to describe in detail how that determination was made so that it can be reliably repeated, and so that OAR and NOAA leadership can manage transition activities with confidence"--Summary. doi:10.7289/V5NS0RSB (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5NS0RSB)
