Recordings: Recordings will be shared 24 hours after the event on the NOAA Library YouTube channel.

Purpose: Research Transitions Fireside Chats spread awareness regarding the research to operations, commercialization, and application pipeline within and across NOAA.  Participants:

  • come away with a broader understanding of a transition plan as a living document that serves as a continual two way conversation between the researcher and adopter;
  • learn how ORTA can support the transition planning process; and
  • better understand how Readiness Levels fit into transition planning.
