Over three hundred representatives of the federal laboratory consortium were notified by mail. These Proceedings were mailed to Stakeholder Forum participants and other interested parties. In addition to the activities listed above, staff at the T 2 RERC and RTI are contacting federal laboratory scientists and advanced technology manufacturers to further promote the Project and Problem Statements. Editors at NASA Tech Briefs have been contacted to determine whether the Problem Statement Abstracts can be disseminated through this publication. To date approximately twenty technology proposals have been received.
Additional proposals are in negotiation.
Staff from the T 2 RERC, the Mobility-RERC, RTI and AZtech have identified seven technology proposals with good potential for transfer. Commercialization packages and marketing plans are being developed for each of the seven proposals. Disclosure agreements are being negotiated with technology developers. Manufacturers identified in the marketing plan will be contacted once disclosure agreements are in place. WheelchairNet is maintained by the RERC on Wheeled Mobility and is a comprehensive resource and best single source of information for all aspects of wheeled mobility.
