Recommendations

• Secure stable funding– Ensure tri-Service participation

• Migrate database to SIPRNET – Provides real-time access– Simplified data collection/distribution processes– DVD distribution may still be required

• Perform a new scoping study to validate/update database requirements

• Improve the data collection process– Train community to enter data as it is collected/analyzed– Determine enticement for entering data– hammer or carrot

• Transfer database management/support functions to DTIC for execution– Requires a transition period while community is spun up to enter data
