FY06 ITP Forest Products Portfolio Peer Review
The Industrial Technologies Program's (ITP) Forest Products Peer Review took place April 5-6, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia.
The purpose of the Forest Products Peer Review was to review the goals, objectives, strategy, and projects of ITP's Forest Products subprogram. In addition to presenting the forest products strategy, in-depth presentations on technologies under development in ITP's forest products portfolio were given.
Peer reviewers were retired industry experts selected from recommendations by the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA), TAPPI, and other industry representatives. The peer reviewers were asked to evaluate the forest products subprogram strategy and individual projects.
