Knowledge Transfer Goals

• Knowledge transfer is critical to the growth of the Center and

to maximize the scientific and societal impact

• Support the sharing of data, knowledge, information and the

application of new technology

• Implement effective mechanisms and two-way

communication channels between Center members, partners, and the public

• Strong founding partnerships; additional participants and

partners need to continually be identified to reach the full potential for technological development and innovation

• d to maximize the scientific and societal impact
• Support the sharing of data, knowledge, information and the application of new technology

KT Tactics

• Tactical approach: engage, involve and impact
• rganizations and individuals through both direct

and indirect channels

• Combination of interactive knowledge transfer

channels aimed at developing a well-known dynamic center that adapts overtime

Target Outcome 1

• Dissemination and use of BioXFEL knowledge, web

tools, software, data and technology through two-way communication channels engaging target audiences

– 75 unique downloads in year 1, increasing to 150/yr – 6 transfer of tools to non-members – 30 papers from Annual BioXFEL International Conference
