Each Agreement is individually reviewed by the Office of Technology Commercialization to ensure fair and reasonable terms. The Stanford Material Transfer Consortium is a group of universities that agreed in advance to allow their researchers to share tangible research materials among those universities without the use of material transfer agreements for in vitro research of non-human biological materials. CCT may contact you to gain further information. MTAs specify the rights, obligations, and restrictions of both the providing and receiving parties with respect to issues such as ownership, publication, intellectual property and permitted use and liability. Industry may view their materials as important proprietary resources, and may want to assert ownership of any inventions made with those materials, or restrict publication o… Admissions   Admissions at UMB are managed by individual schools.

If you are in need of an NDA, please complete the NDA Request form (pdf) and email it to the OTC's Senior Contracts Coordinator, Ali Bocook. Examples of materials which may require an agreement are: biological materials, cultures, anti-bodies, chemical compounds and even some types of software.The contracts team have the following procedures for reviewing and drafting MTAs: If you are planning to receive incoming materials from outside of the University, the external organisation should provide a MTA to allow the University to consent to the terms of the agreement. To submit a Materal Tranfer Agreement for URA review, please use the following link to access Service Now's Research Administration Catalog. For more information about this process update, please see the campus announcement made August 24, 2020. It is important to have the OTC review every MTA as a recipient's ability to publish research results may be affected. An MTA ensures that the provider of the materials is recognised as the legal owner and that the intellectual property rights of both parties are protected. A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is a legally binding contract which is required if you intend to transfer tangible research materials between two organisations. An MTA ensures that the provider of the materials is recognised as the legal owner and that the intellectual property rights of both parties are protected. The University of Kentucky's Intellectual Property Policy can be found. The types of materials typically transferred under MTAs include biological materials, such as reagents, cell lines, cultures, plasmids, vectors, nucleotides, proteins, bacteria, transgenic animals, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other proprietary physical materials.
