Teaming Portal
Teaming allows for the MTEC membership to come together, expanding each other’s knowledge, and leaning on the expertise of other organizations to further the development of research projects and products. Many of MTEC’s funding opportunities span a broad set of technical capabilities and expertise such as product development [e.g., dose, duration of treatment, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD)]; manufacturing (cGMP); preclinical studies that enable regulatory submissions; chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC); interactions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and the planning, management, and execution of clinical trials. Teaming is often essential to an organization’s ability to respond to these complex funding opportunities. In the “Team Portal” on the MTEC members-only website MTEC offers the following opportunities to facilitate teaming.
The purpose of the Collaboration Database Tool is to provide both the MTEC membership and Government Sponsors a quick and easy way to search the membership for specific technology capabilities, collaboration interest, core business areas/focus, R&D highlights/projects, and technical expertise. This tool will help the membership in identifying potential teaming partners and aid government sponsors in identifying members that have the capabilities needed for government projects. Be sure to provide MTEC with a listing of the appropriate representative(s) from your organization that should have access to the MTEC members-only website; keep the listing current; and notify your organization of your MTEC membership as there may be other departments at your organization that may benefit from MTEC funding opportunities.
Dedicated chat rooms have been established to facilitate direct interaction amongst members in relation to active funding opportunities or more general teaming needs. Check out the Team Portal on the Members only Website to stay up to date with the teaming requests by other members.
In partnership with govmates, MTEC offers members (at no additional cost) matchmaking services and access to the Innovation Resource Hub to provide member organizations with access to the critical tools needed to thrive. More information can be found in the TEAM portal on the members-only site.

MTEC offers routine Member Connects, which are virtual pitch sessions allowing members a chance to get to know each other and to obtain help from the MTEC ecosystem to further their development goals. Each of these sessions covers a particular technology focus area relevant to the MTEC mission. A schedule of the upcoming Member Connects can be found on the public MTEC website, here. Information on registering for these events will be sent out via the MTEC mailing list prior to the event.
