Here are some checkpoints to consider when choosing this strategy:

• Is an invention likely in the project? If so, one of the other strategies for transfer might be better.
  
  
• Will the finding, or process, product "sell itself"? Consider whether the potential of the product will be apparent and stand out in contrast to alternatives if its availability is announced along with other products that the Center is developing.
  
  
• Do you think manufacturers will seek out this product following their initial exposure to information about its availability? If not, you will probably have to become more involved than this strategy implies.
  
  
• Are these findings or results best suited for open distribution to other researchers or laboratories?
