Training Technology Transfer Process and Guidelines

Abstract : This report presents a set of guidelines for implementing a new training technology in an Army school environment. In an effort to improve the technology transfer process, the Army has established Training Technology Field Activities (TTFAs), a partnership among the Army Research Institute (ARI), the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), and Army Service Schools to facilitate training technology transfer. The guidelines present the activities necessary for successful training technology transfer using the TTFA team as the vehicle for implementation. The guidelines divide the transfer process into five phases. Each phase is further divided into three stages, with a decision point at the end of each stage. Within each stage is a set of activities that lead to the decision point. For each activity, a set of roles and responsibilities are identified and the major organizations involved in the transfer process are assigned these roles and responsibilities.
