Materials Transfer Agreements (MTA’s)

If an information sheet for the MTA has already been filled out and submitted to JHTV, no COUES record is required.  Otherwise, a COUES record should be routed to ORA (Proposal Type= Negotiation Only if no funding)

• Please provide the following:
  • Editable version of the Agreement (preferably MS Word), if one is available. If no agreement is available, ORA has templates for use. If ORA is to draft the agreement, please indicate.
  • Proposed Budget, when applicable. No budget required for unfunded MTA’s.
  • Statement of Work or Scope of Work, clearly describing the materials being transferred and how they are intended to be used.
  • Provide the contact information for the Provider/Recipient
  • IRB/IACUC approval or application number, if applicable (and other applicable compliance, like ISCRO). If these approvals are pending, please indicate.
  • Outgoing transfers of human biospecimens will require approval from the Vice Dean for Clinical Investigation. The form to request this review is available here: https://ventures.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/MTA_biospecimen.pdf
