Overview

Transition Support

The Office of Research, Transition, and Application’s mission on transition support is to provide assistance to accelerate and facilitate transitions of R&D within NOAA. The Transition support is a centralized hub for all R&D transition information across all of NOAA. 

Please email oar.orta@noaa.gov for additional information that is not found in this hub.
