Transition to end users of the research and demonstrations funded under SERDP and ESTCP is of primary importance to the Programs. To further technology transition efforts, ESTCP released a solicitation in April 2015 to seek innovative technology transfer approaches. The target audience was primarily end users, including: Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) within the military; acquisition program managers; energy managers; natural resource managers; regulatory agency representatives; those responsible for updating design codes or standards; and other practitioners. Proposers were asked to address the transfer needs of a specific ESTCP- or SERDP-funded project or group of projects. A total of 14 projects were selected for funding, eight of which address issues associated with the Environmental Restoration Program Area. The eight Environmental Restoration projects selected for funding are:

1. 
   
   • Dr. David Reynolds, Geosyntec Consultants
2. 
   
   • Dr. Lee Slater, Rutgers University
3. 
   
   • Dr. Robert Borden, Solutions-IES
4. 
   
   • Dr. Charles Schaefer, CDM Smith
5. 
   
   • Dr. Susan Taylor, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory
6. 
   
   • Dr. Pedro Alvarez, Rice University
7. 
   
   • Dr. Jennifer Field, Oregon State University
8. 
   
   • Dr. Charles Newell, GSI Environmental, Inc.

These projects will be initiated in 2015 with products available over the next 15 – 18 months. All products will be available from the SERDP and ESTCP web page and will be announced via social media platforms when available.
