NOTE:
This template provides recommendations as to the number of slides needed
for each section of the brief. Regardless of the number of slides you
ultimately use, plan that your brief will be no more than 30 minutes
uninterrupted (not including your backup slides).

Problem Statement
●
●
Clearly state the environmental problem the technology
or methodology demonstration is addressing and its
relevance and importance to DoD.
Identify the current approach (if one exists) to this
problem and its shortcomings.
1 slide
3
Technical Objectives
●
Briefly describe the technical objective(s) of your
demonstration project overall.
1 slide
4
Technology/Methodology Description
●
●
●
Describe the technology or methodology in sufficient
detail to provide an accurate and factual understanding
of its theory, functionality, and operation.
As appropriate, provide an overall schematic or flow
diagram.
Discuss how the technology or methodology is
innovative.
2-3 slides
5
Technology/Methodology Maturity
●
Provide evidence that the technology or methodology is
mature enough for demonstration (include references
and past funding history).



Provide a brief description of any previous related
demonstrations.
Summarize data and studies justifying the expected
performance.
Discuss any additional development, design, field, or laboratory
work that is required prior to demonstration.
2-3 slides
6
Technical Approach
●
●
●
●
●
Provide a detailed overview of how the project will be conducted to
address the technical objectives.
Include a brief description of the proposed demonstration site(s), if
known. If the site has not yet been selected, discuss required site
characteristics for an optimal demonstration.
Provide the performance objectives.
Provide a broad overview of the test design. Discuss the scope of
proposed demonstration and relate the planned data collection to
the performance objectives.
Include a description of the data analyses that will be conducted to
determine whether the success criteria for the performance
objectives have been met.
5-10 slides
This section should be the focus of the presentation. Additional descriptors are
included in the full proposal instructions for all sections.
7
Technical Risks
●
●
●
●
Identify potential issues of concern and technical risks in
taking the technology or methodology from the research
phase to proposed scale of demonstration.
Identify any assumptions that have been made that, if
not realized, could impact the successful implementation
of the project.
Discuss how risks will be managed.
If the demonstration is not at full scale, discuss any
scale-up issues that will remain at the conclusion of a
successful demonstration.

Related Efforts
●
●
Provide information on any relationship to other similar
projects.
Identify funding sources for these efforts.

Expected DoD Benefit
●
●
●
●
●
●
Describe the expected benefit in terms of environmental impact
and/or reduced cost, as applicable.
Assess the environmental benefit per site or implementation and
the expected aggregate benefit for DoD.
Provide realistic projections of the number of DoD sites or facilities
where the technology or methodology can be deployed.
Discuss how the information obtained from the demonstration will
enable adoption of the technology or methodology throughout DoD.
Estimate the expected return on investment (cost of
implementation versus savings) and the time for payback.
Discuss the life cycle cost and advantages over current
approaches, if one exists.

Schedule of Milestones (continued)
●
●
●
Explicitly identify any development, design, baseline
characterization, field, laboratory, or treatability work that is required
prior to demonstration.
Estimate the time required for the demonstration. Include the
planned initiation and completion dates for critical events, including
but not limited to equipment installation, monitoring, fieldwork, data
analysis, and other key activities as appropriate.
Include expected submission dates to the ESTCP Office for the first
draft and completed final document for Demonstration Plans and
Final Reports. Cost and Performance Reports are due when the
final version of the Final Report is submitted. Separate first draft and
final submission dates by a two-month period to allow time for
ESTCP review.

Technology Transition
●
●
●
●
●
●
Describe the method by which the technology or methodology will
be transitioned to end user(s) or commercialized.
Specify how technology transfer methods will differ to reach
appropriate audiences (i.e., regulators, consultants, etc.).
Describe any proposed guidance documents that will assist in future
implementation (i.e., guidance, design, and/or protocol documents).
Explicitly identify potential first DoD users and follow-on
implementation.
Identify any DoD or service programs that are responsible for
technology or methodology implementation or relevant requirements
or regulations that will effect transition.
If there are known institutional or regulatory barriers that will affect
the transition, describe them in this section along with
recommendations for addressing these barriers.

support. If a performer is providing support (for example, XYZ Co. is
receiving ESTCP funds but also providing in-kind support), then that
should be indicated.
