The Office of Technology Transfer works closely with many units across campus but there are several that with which we not only share a close working relationship but often overlapping responsibilities.  You will find those offices below.
 

Office of the Vice President for Research, Graduate Studies, and Economic Development

The ultimate responsibility for the University of Arizona is vested in the Arizona Board of Regents. All outside funds donated, granted or contracted for by the University are under the ultimate control of the Board of Regents.

As a practical matter, the execution of these responsibilities is designated to the President of the University. In the area of sponsored research, the President has delegated this responsibility to the Vice President for Research, Graduate Studies and Economic Development.
