A plan for a technical information dissemination (TID) program for the US Department of Energy ETS/Division of Resource Management is presented. This plan's purpose is to build the most effective information transfer mechanisms possible to support the earliest appropriate commercialization of solar research and development (R and D) results in five technologies: photovoltaics, solar thermal power, biomass, ocean thermal energy conversion, and wind energy conversion. This will be accomplished by strengthening existing TID activities of DOE contractors through coordination, evaluation, and maximum use of ongoing information support services. During Year 1 of the plan, new information activities will be initiated where the leverage effect appears reasonably high in meeting the goals of the TID program. DOE in-house and contractor personnel will be involved in planning, evaluating, and implementing these technical information dissemination activities. Finally, the plan proposes to involve users of solar R and D results in external evaluation of technical information activities in each of the five solar technologies.
