Material Transfer Agreements
Scientists use Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) when they want to provide material to someone outside of ARS, but also want to maintain control over the material, and avoid public disclosure.
MTAs are also used to bring in material to ARS from outside parties for research purposes. This agreement states specifically what the material is, what it can be used for, restricts giving it to a third party without permission, and prohibits commercial use of the material. All MTAs should be review by an ARS Technology Transfer Coordinator (TTC).
A generic MTA form can be obtained from a TTC, or can be downloaded from this site (located on the left-hand side of this page under Generic Forms).
