Presentation Transcript

  1. The Pacific Northwest Fire Science Consortium:Letting Managers Control the Technology Transfer Process

  2. The Management SettingHuge fire management issues --Fuels reduction --Smoke management --Post-fire salvage --Interactions with wildlife habitat, invasives, wildland-urban interface

  3. The Management Setting --Limited human and financial resources --Need for coordination --Communication problems with research --Skill levels, need for training

  4. An Opportunity --Joint Fire Science Program call for proposals --Forming fire science consortia across the Nation --Opportunity for innovative approaches

  5. An Opportunity --We successfully competed --Pacific Northwest Consortium --Oregon and Washington, but ties to Klamath Province and Great Basin

  6. Guiding Principles of the Consortium --Let managers control it --”Start to finish” project approach --Adaptive management approach --Innovative training techniques --Cutting edge website training technologies

  7. Who? --Managers directing the technology transfer needed --Regional/State fuels-vegetation management team --PNW Research --BLM --FWS --BIA --Universities, ODF

  8. Getting Started -- Outreach, coalition building -- FRAMES website -- Website strategy -- Building tentative list of projects

  9. Getting StartedThe dry forest strategy focus of this workshop would be ideal as a cooperative consortium project

  10. Getting Started -- Late January Workshop -- Phase 2 Proposal -- Implement First Round of Projects

  11. Paradigm Shift? -- Researchers more problem-solving and service oriented -- Next generation of training methods and communication -- Implementing the “ideal technogy transfer team”

  12. The Ideal Technology Transfer Team -- The Ideal Technology Transfer Team1. Controlled by managers and the field, rather than top down. 2. Emphasis on developing the roadmap to successThe Ideal Technology Transfer Team1. Controlled by managers and the field, rather than top down. 2. Emphasis on developing the roadmap to success3. Clear, practical integration of tools and applications to meet specific agreed-on needs, rather than a collection of tools/applications4. Interdisciplinary. Looks for linkages between disciplines, where breakthroughs often occur.
