Demonstrate innovative technology transfer approaches for technologies that have been successfully demonstrated under ESTCP or for mature bodies of knowledge that are appropriate for direct transfer that have been developed under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP).
The target communities of interest are primarily end users.
Target communities will likely benefit from technology transfer approaches specific to their mission, business processes, and manner of receiving information.
Proposals must address why the focus technology is appropriate, the barriers to adoption, the key stakeholders, stakeholders information needs, and why the proposed approach is appropriate to the technology and the audience.
Proposals should comprehensively address all stakeholders that will determine the adoption of the innovative technology.
Proposals may focus on a broad array of SERDP and ESTCP investment areas, or be narrowly targeted.

Management tools or technologies to address groundwater contaminated with emerging contaminants, such as the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and common co-contaminants.
