Development Project 2. The KT4TT Knowledge Base
The KT4TT Knowledge Base is a repository for all materials compiled by, and outputs generated within this Center’s research and development projects. It houses the Need to Knowledge (NtK) model and its associated components; all excerpts from Research Project 1 literature review; resources such as training modules and a technology transfer plan template; extensive search capabilities; and a link to all of the Center’s publications and presentations. The Knowledge Base went live on-line in December 2009. It is accessible directly through the following link: http://kt4tt.buffalo.edu/knowledgebase. Key features are summarized here.
The NtK Model Components:
- 3 Phases of activity broken down into 9 stages, 58 steps, and 71 tips, with knowledge to action cycles bridging each phase.
- Case examples from our own prior success in technology transfer and commercialization demonstrate how our work has implemented the NtK concepts.
- Tools identified during the literature review embedded in Supporting Evidence links at the step level.
- Interactive game board style overlay – click on the path!
Search the literature review excerpts:
- Perform keyword searches for authors, article titles, or keywords.
- Customize search results to return information specific to selected user groups or settings.
- Return listings of matching excerpts or citations.
Publications:
- KT4TT publications, webcasts and conference presentations
- T2RERC publications and presentations (Center activity ended in 2008)
