MTA Questions
The Technology Commercialization Office (Tech Comm) will process your request as soon as possible. Tech Comm will contact the Recipient and execute the necessary agreements to facilitate your Material Transfer Request. The process takes a varied amount of time depending on the materials being transferred and working with the Recipient. Once the actual agreement is completed, you will be notified by Tech Comm that you are cleared to transfer the materials to the Recipient. In no event should you ship materials to a 3rd party until you have received approval from Tech Comm.
