Dear Einstein Community,

Thank you for your cooperation in making this phased transition to the MTAShare system, smooth and seamless! Now that we have successfully implemented the Phase I, the Office of Biotechnology and Business Development is ready to roll out the Phase II of its implementation.

Like before, we will be hosting info sessions, office hours, posting quick guides, videos to help you with the transition.

We urge that you take few minutes to go through the rollout plan to familiarize yourself with important deadlines and maximize the resources available to you.

MTAShare being implemented in phases:

• Phase I: Since November 1st, 2022, Einstein has been requiring any academic outgoing non-human material requests be routed through MTAShare. 
• Phase II: Will be implemented from April 24^th, 2023, Einstein will REQUIRE ALL academic non-human material requests (both outgoing and incoming) be routed through MTAShare.
• During this period, all human material requests should continue to be submitted via RARP
• Phase III: All MTAs (including human material) [Date: TBA]
