چکیده
There is a growing concern about obtaining beneficial social impact from research and development (R&D) projects sponsored through public funding. Knowledge Translation (KT), which responds to this concern, upholds knowledge utilization as a desired research outcome. In the specific case of technology based R&D, technology transfer (TT) processes form an integral part of KT best practices. The KT4TT Center is funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) at the University at Buffalo for developing such KT best practices. The center is conducting a series of randomized controlled studies to evaluate effectiveness of KT interventions focused on NIDRR funded R&D projects. The first RCT in the series addressed Augmentative and Alternative Communication technology. This presentation focuses on the key results.
