Dissemination of accurate, complete
and timely STINFO is the major impetus that drives the DoD STIP. DoD
components appoint managers to oversee STINFO programs at the local
level. This manager ensures that every appropriate defense research
and engineering effort is reported under the Research Awareness Initiative
(RAI), and that technical publications generated from efforts are
properly disseminated.
DTIC® offers the
DoD STINFO Manager Training Program to expand awareness of
the STINFO program and facilitate more direct information exchange
among those who oversee the program at the activity level. The content
of the training program is also of interest to all programs and offices
that play a role in the dissemination of DoD STINFO.
DoD STINFO Manager Training:
The three-day STINFO course is taught
monthly at DTIC Headquarters, as well as in conjunction with DTIC's
Regional Conferences. (See Training
Schedule). In addition, courses can be given off-site, on request,
when the instructors' schedules permit. The three-day course can be
tailored or compressed to one or two days to meet the needs of specific
groups of students.

STINFO Manager Overview
The "STINFO Manager Overview"
is designed as a one day course to cover many of the same topics as
our traditional three-day course, but provides highlights of the subject
areas. This class will be a great review for STINFO managers who want
to update their skills or others who are not serving in STINFO manager
position. Items discussed include marking technical documents; domestic
technology transfer; tracking, processing, and disseminating the technical
publications program; STINFO Manager responsibilities and duties;
and the latest updates and changes in regulations and documents.
Marking Technical Documents

an understanding of the rationale and mechanics of properly assigning
distribution statements, the For Official Use Only (FOUO) marking,
and the export control warning notice to DOD STINFO. Course material

and STIP documentation. DTIC's Marking Technical Documents Course
