Strategy 2. Utilize established information channels.

If you select this strategy, you are deciding that transfer can be accomplished effectively by one or more of the following types of activities:

• published articles in recognized journals
  
  
• conference presentations, including poster presentations
  
  
• walk-through traffic and word of mouth about the Center
  
  
• periodic reports and bulletins issued by the Center
  
  
• announcements or targeted mailings to special constituencies
  
  
• open-house sessions arranged by the Center for potential manufacturers
  
  
• evaluation efforts underwritten by the VA

This strategy assumes that you do not know the most likely users or a potential manufacturer and that transfer may be best accomplished through simultaneous access by the entire research community.
