FEDERAL LABORATORY CONSORTIUM FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

advancing federal research and technology

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) and the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) continuously collaborate on the process of Federal Technology Transfer.

The FLC is the nationwide network of federal laboratories that provides the forum to develop strategies and oppor- tunities for linking laboratory mission technologies and expertise with the marketplace. The FLC consists of more than 250 federal laboratories.

As an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the NTIS mission is to provide for the acquisition, archiving and dissemination of technological, scientific, and engineering information. Much of this permanent repository of information is the result of research conducted by federal laboratories that are members of the FLC. The collaborative effort of the FLC and NTIS ensures the perpetual availability of this vital research to American businesses and industries.

CENDI (Commerce, Energy, NASA, Defense Information Managers Group) CENDI (Commerce, Energy, NASA, Defense Information Managers Group) is an interagency group of senior Scientific and Technical Information (STI) managers from 14 United States federal agencies.

CENDI traces its roots to the Committee on Scientific and Technical Information (COSATI) of the Federal Council on Science and Technology. COSATI was established in the early 1960s to coordinate the management of the results from the U.S. government’s increasing commitment to scientific research and technology development. The scientific and technical information (STI) managers of the government’s major research and development (R&D) agencies worked within COSATI to standardize guidelines for cataloging and indexing technical reports. COSATI ceased formal operations in the early 1970s.

To continue the cooperation begun under COSATI, managers of agency STI programs from Commerce (National Technical Information Service), Energy (Office of Scientific and Technical Information), NASA (HQ/STI Division), and Defense (Defense Technical Information Center) began meeting periodically to discuss common topics and stimulate more effective cooperation.

In 1985, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the four charter agencies and CENDI was established. From this small core of STI managers, CENDI has grown to its current membership, which represents the major science agencies, the national libraries, and agencies involved in the dissemination and long-term management of scientific and technical information.

Public Access Plans of U.S. Federal Agencies Additional Public Access Plans will be posted as agencies release them.

In a memo released by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) on February 22, 2013, each Federal agency with over $100 million in annual conduct of research and development expenditures was directed to develop a plan to support increased public access to the results of research funded by the Federal Government. This included any results published in peer-reviewed scholarly publications that are based on research that directly arises from Federal funds, as defined in relevant OMB circulars (e.g., A-21and A-11).

The full memo can be viewed at https://www2.icsu-wds.org/files/ostp-public-access-memo-2013.pdf.

DEEP WATER HORIZON

-

PB2014102313 Ecosystem Services Approach to Assessing the Impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. . National Research Council, Washington, DC. Division on Earth and Life Studies.;

The unprecedented volume, depth, and spatial scale of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill created many enormous challenges for policymakers. Among these was the difficult task of restoring the ocean and coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) to the condition they would have been in but for the spill.

Although multiple state and federal agencies had experience in the restoration of damaged natural resources, no agency had ever been faced with a spill affecting such a wide area and such a broad range of ecosystems. This report aims to answer the question: in what ways might using an ecosystem services approach help these agencies to achieve their mission, as mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, of making the environment and the public whole.

Just Revised: the NTIS Database Search Guide

Gain an in-depth understanding of the NTIS database structure with this new guide:

• Comprehensive list of NTIS Categories• Helpful information and search hints• Reference Guide to online commercial services

and the NTRL • Great Reference Manual & Teaching Tool

The National Technical Reports Library (NTRL) enhances accessibility to the NTIS technical reports collection. It provides access to:

• Bibliographic records of more than 2,500,000technical reports

• Downloadable full text of 850,000 of these reportsin PDF format

Subscription rates are based on the number of IP’s.

The NTRL operates on a system interface that allows users to do queries on the large NTIS bibliographic database. The intent is to broadly expand and improve access to over 2 million bibliographic records (pre-1960 to present) and 800k full-text documents in PDF format that are directly linked to that bibliographic database.
