The technical report documents the methodology of a study reviewing the vocational research and exemplary projects in Oregon, so that successful projects or products may be accessible for transportability to other environments. The three stages of research were: (1) Data collection of information on practices, (2) selection of promising practices, and (3) dissemination of information on those practices designated as promising through publication of a handbook. The review and dissemination procedures are detailed under the headings: Document Review, On-Site Visitation, Selection Process, and Compiling the Handbook. Findings of the study are presented in l3 tables according to such variables as career development level, fiscal characteristics, contracting agencies, and instructional level. The project staff concludes that more practices would have been designated as "promising" if means were available for communicating them to others. Recommendations are offered for proposal preparation, project management, and dissemination, including procedures for updating the handbook. Appendixes include a list of references, a list of consultants, project forms, selection criteria, flow charts of procedures, and correspondence. (RG)
