Discussion in this session began with an attempt to understand the structure of the proposed EPRI-NSF Program and then render ideas as to how best to ensure that innovative technologies developed in this program have a good chance to make it to the marketplace. The following themes were addressed: (1) It is understood that this will be a joint RFP from EPRI/NSF. (2) If potential for technology transfer is important to assessing projects, how should this be implemented over the broad range of types of projects (e.g., fundamental versus technology development). (3) Group suggested defining several different {open_quotes}phases{close_quotes} of R&D to be supported ranging from fundamental to technology development. (4) Discussion then centered on how best to interact with industry to help ensure technology transfer. (5) Further discussion from the whole group brought-up the point of putting together an NSF Center for Electroseparations as part of the program plan. (6) EPRI can serve as a technology sounding board and help with technology transfer and commercialization.
