“Submit Your Idea” to Operations Technology Development (OTD). We are looking for later-stage technologies that solve problems and address safety issues for natural gas operators that we can invest in.

Send us a one-page summary that includes the following information for us to review:

• Name, organization, contact information
• Description of your research idea or technology
• Relationship to the natural gas industry and what need it addresses
• Current status of your idea or technology and what the next step is that needs funding

OTD's Schedule:

• We look forward to receiving and reviewing the descriptions of your research ideas and technologies at any time of the year.
• You will receive an acknowledgement that we have received your submittal.
• We do our detailed reviews of new ideas during the months of January/February and June/July so we suggest that new ideas be submitted before these months to be considered in a more timely process.
• We may have to ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement if you can’t provide enough detailed information for us to make a decision about your idea or technology.
• After the new ideas are reviewed by the technical team and membership, some may be requested to prepare as a full proposal for the March or September timeframe.
