Don’t miss the 2022 NIH Technology Transfer University (TTU) free courses! This is always a great opportunity to learn more about tech transfer topics or dive into a new area that you are less familiar with. The schedule offers a variety of sessions, while it is preferred that staff sign up for the entire course, you may also sign up for individual sessions if necessary. Please check with your supervisor for permission before registering.

The courses are taught by NIH’s technology transfer experts and offer something for all staff. The TTU will be held virtually via zoom each Tuesday from April 12^th to May 24^th.
