A Convergence of User Needs and Agency Missions

Pilot Projects in Arizona, Utah, and Mississippi

The goal is to
  • incorporate geospatial information technology
    in natural resource management and agriculture
    through seeds sown by NASA Earth Science,
    research and scholarship supported by Space
    Grant, and extension facilitated by Land Grant.

5
Major Considerations
  • Technology adoption life cycle
  • High Tech requires High Touch
  • Assessing user needs
  • Leverage related RD efforts
  • Access to data and expertise
  • Gateway to university applications
  • One Stop shopping
  • Train the Trainer
  • Demonstration
  • Supporting Community Colleges

6
Technology Adoption Life Cycle
7
High Tech" High Touch
  • High Tech requires a High Touch approach
  • Dual channels of 2-Way knowledge exchange
  • Web-based tools education
  • Coffeeshop communication
  • Web also serves to tie-in researchers and private
    sector data providers and geospatial services
  • Based on needs rather than the technology
  • One stop shopping where possible
  • Adaptive research development
  • Early adopters and Lead Users

Assessing User NeedsSurvey of Potential
Government Agency Users
Results
Sharing (data, ideas, etc.) greatly influences
adoption.

NASA Earth Science and Space Grant Missions
NASA Earth Science Enterprise To develop
understanding of the total Earth system and the
effects of natural and human-induced changes on
the global environment. Space Grant The goal of
cooperative extension-to provide the public with
practical information and assistance-may be
implemented through NASA Strategic Enterprises,
such as Mission to Planet Earth now Office of
Earth Science and Space Technology. Space Grant
may supply a critical link between these data
resources and the public in the form of
information and technology transfer.
23
USDA-CSREES and Sea Grant Missions
USDA-CSREES In cooperation with our partners and
customers, CSREES provides the focus to advance a
global system of research, extension and higher
education in the food and agricultural sciences
and related environmental and human sciences to
benefit people, communities, and the Nation. The
CSREES mission emphasizes partnerships with the
public and private sectors to maximize the
effectiveness of limited resources. SeaGrant To
make the most of their promise while providing
for their protection, the National Sea Grant
Program encourages the wise stewardship of our
marine resources through research, education,
outreach and technology transfer.
24
What Is Space Grant?
  • The Arizona Space Grant College Consortium
    carries on a balanced suite of activities
    encompassing the active space science and
    aerospace engineering programs at Arizona's three
    major universities and four other higher
    education institutions. The University of Arizona
    focuses its greatest effort on providing
    cutting-edge research experiences for
    undergraduates and graduate fellows.
  • The goal of Space Grant cooperative extension
    to provide the public with practical information
    and assistance may be implemented through NASA
    Strategic Enterprises such as Earth Sciences and
    Aerospace and Technology. Space Grant will supply
    a critical link between these data resources and
    the public in the form of information and
    technology transfer.

25
What Is Land Grant?
  • In 1885, there were two major prizes to be won
    from the 13th territorial legislature.
  • Phoenix was given the asylum for the insane
  • and Prescott kept the state capital.
  • Tucson received the unwelcome consolation prize
    of the University of Arizona!

26
What Is Land Grant, Really ? !
  • For this effort, the part of Land Grant we are
    interested in is Cooperative Extension.
  • As the outreach arm of The University of Arizona,
    Cooperative Extension is about "taking the
    university to the people." Extension serves as a
    statewide network of knowledgeable faculty and
    staff that provides lifelong educational programs
    for all Arizonans.
  • Arizona Cooperative Extension is a part of a
    nationwide educational network of scientists and
    educators who help people solve problems and put
    knowledge to use.

27
Where to start and where to go?
  • Identify potential users
  • Assess their needs
  • Determine how the technology can meet those needs
  • Identify the research assets that can be pulled
    in that direction
  • Convince the researchers to consider moving
    beyond validation
  • Invest in converting mature research into
    application

28
And last, but not least
  • develop, deliver, and disseminate products
    meaningful to our end-users
  • educate in their use
