Material Transfer Agreements

MTA Questionnaire and UMB Non-Profit Outgoing MTA

To access the questionnaire, click the link above, or go to the myUMB Portal and select UMBiz from the Administrative Systems menu.

The Center for Clinical Trials and Corporate Contracts (CCT) wants to expedite the routine requests you receive for your tangible materials. If you are sending your nonproprietary material out to another nonprofit institution, you may use the UMB Nonprofit Outgoing MTA. The recipient may print out this convenient MTA, have it signed by their institution, and return it to CCT. CCT will forward it to you, and you will be able to rapidly respond to requests for your material.

For materials that are considered proprietary, the CCT wants to maximize UMB's ability to protect your material and any resulting technology. Please provide the information requested in the MTA questionnaire. Your answers to the questionnaire will give CCT much of the information we will need to begin the MTA process. CCT may contact you to gain further information.

UMB is a signatory for a standardized form of MTA known as the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement (UBMTA). When the material is provided by one of a group of signatory institutions, which includes many other universities, the UBMTA may be employed to expedite the contracting process.
