Initiative Forms

Initiative guidelines and a funding matrix have been developed by the MTTI Executive Committee.

The General Initiative request form must be submitted to the EC for review. The Travel Initiative request form must be submitted to the MTTI director for approval. Those initiatives which do not meet the funding matrix categories will be deemed major initiatives and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Initiatives are intended for MTTI members. Non-members are welcome to apply and will be considered on a case by case basis.
