Important Announcement Regarding  
 Material Transfer Agreements

Previously, the administration of Material Transfer Agreements at the University of Rochester has been the responsibility of the Offices of Technology Transfer.  Beginning in April of 2007, however, this process has been transferred to the Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA).

Please address all Material Transfer Agreements-as well as questions and correspondences related thereto-to ORPA (515 Hylan Building).

See the ORPA web site (<http://www.rochester.edu/orpa/>) for more information, or call 275.4031.

Material Transfer Agreements will be the topic of the final installment of the F.I.R.E. (For Inventors, Researchers, and Entrepreneurs) Series for this academic year.  Speaking on the importance of Material Transfer Agreements-as well as the procedures for processing  
them-will be Gunta Liders, Associate Vice President for Research Administration, Anne Corriveau, and Tammie Martin.

This informative session will be held from 9:00 - 10:00 AM on Thursday, 14 June in the Northeast Conference Room (B CC 1-9525) at the Medical Center.
