One of seven coordinated inservice institutes to be conducted during 1970 for vocational education and related personnel representing rural areas of the United States is discussed. This specific institute was concerned with the procedures of application of innovations resulting from research and development programs. The program relies primarily upon simulation activities and establishment of close working relationships between persons representing information utilization and those from vocational education. Also discussed are the experiences of the cooperative approach followed in developing, submitting, funding, recruiting, and conducting these coordinated institutes. Involved in this cooperative venture are agencies from seven states, a national center, and the U.S. Office of Education. (author)
