Promote innovation by creating a clearinghouse through the National Park Service National Center for Preservation Technology and Training to disseminate information on innovative technologies and encourage their use.

The Fostering Innovation panel focused in part on the importance of using innovative technologies to enhance historic property stewardship. A key element for fostering innovation is the exchange of information, but there are currently few channels for cross-pollination of ideas. To fill that void, the panel suggested creating a national clearinghouse for information exchange to highlight model technologies and applications. The panel recommended establishing the clearinghouse at the existing National Park Service National Center for Preservation Technology and Training. Created by amendment of the NHPA in 1992, the Center's mission is to develop and distribute skills and technologies that enhance the preservation, conservation, and interpretation of historic resources.
