Abstract
The New Mexico Technology Deployment Pilot (NMTDP) project is a collaborative effort among Laguna Industries Inc., the University of New Mexico's Research Institute for Assistive and Training Technologies (RIATT), and Sandia National Laboratories. The project partners are collaborating to develop, test, and demonstrate a model process for accelerating dual-use technology extraction and deployment from federally owned technical institutions to the commercial sector. The major activities of the project include: developing a model process, identifying product needs, translating needs and dual-use technologies into products, and partnerships with industry. As a result, it is anticipated that consumers with disabilities will benefit from improved technologies and competition in the marketplace.
