Abstract
Since 1989, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has been developing a systematic program of technology transfer, which is intended to promote use of drug abuse research findings by practitioners in the field. The current program builds on activities conducted by the Institute since its founding in 1974, including research on the technology transfer process in drug abuse. Current technology transfer activities include a recent national conference, convening of an ad hoc committee on technology transfer, and design of a four-step process for promoting wider adoption of identified drug abuse research findings by drug abuse practitioners and treatment or prevention organizations.
