Science and Technology (S&T) managers are typically scientists and engineers who manage basic research, applied research, and/or advanced technology development activities. They may also be involved with direct support to acquisition program managers. Their primary duties include developing program plans for S&T projects, developing budgets for assigned projects; and acquiring the services of expert scientists, engineers, and technical support personnel to perform S&T work for DoD. Additional primary duties involve overseeing in-house research or design and external research or design efforts performed by universities, industry, or other Federal Government organizations; and providing matrix support to program managers or other DoD activities. These duties also include conducting evaluations of S&T products to determine their effectiveness, including conducting Technology Readiness Assessments; interfacing with the technology customer to expedite the transition of technology to the user; and developing Technology Transition Agreements.
