Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) are contracts that protect your IP when you either provide or receive research materials\u2014such as cell lines, cultures, bacteria, nucleotides, proteins, transgenic animals, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals\u2014to and from research institutions or corporate entities. Each exchange of research material requires an MTA. For repeated exchanges of the same research material, standardized MTAs can help streamline the process. C4C\u2019s\u00a0Agreements Group<\/a>\u00a0can help you efficiently transfer research materials.<\/p>\n MTAs are important because they protect your IP rights, limit liability, and fairly credit the developer of the materials.<\/p>\n UW researchers should contact the UW C4C Agreements Group: 206-543-3970,\u00a0mta-group@uw.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n If the MTA is embedded in a Sponsored Research Agreement, is linked to a clinical trial, or is for clinical use or clinical studies in humans, then the\u00a0Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP)<\/a>\u00a0is responsible for the MTA. The UW Center for Commercialization and OSP are the only units of the UW authorized to review and sign MTAs.<\/p>\n Transferring Materials Into and Out Of UW What\u2019s a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)?
