Training Briefing for the Conduct of Technology Readiness Assessments

Abstract

This briefing was prepared as a training tool for the Independent Review Team (IRT) members who conduct Technology Readiness Assessments (TRAs). It also provides a useful introduction to others who are new to the TRA process. Several examples are offered to assist an IRP in selecting Critical Technology Elements (CTEs) and the necessary metrics for proper evaluation. The training materials are based on-and should be used in conjunction with- the Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) Deskbook, which provides the Research Directorate's guidance and best practices for conducting TRAs.
