If you are an academic researcher, follow these steps to obtain the materials you are requesting:

1. Click on the "pdf" link to the document most closely related to your situation and fill out the form using Adobe Acrobat Reader (freely downloadable from Adobe at http://adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html) and print the completed form:

MICE and other transgenic organisms (may include cre-lox technology)	MTA-TO (pdf 41kb) (MSWord 57kb)
CRE-LOX technology, other than organisms	MTA-crelox (pdf 32kb) (MSWord 45kb)
HUMAN TISSUE	MTA-human (pdf 46kb) (MSWord 68kb)
INSULATOR ELEMENT sequence acting as insulator from cis acting regulatory elements; covered by US Patent 5,610,053 (Felsenfeld)	MTA-5,610,053 (pdf 29kb) (MSWord 41b)

2. Sign the document as Recipient Scientist AND obtain the signature of your institution's Authorized Signatory, where indicated. (Or, if you are a student or postdoctoral fellow, have your advisor or supervisor sign as Recipient Scientist.)
   
   
3. Fax or e-mail a pdf version of the document signed by both you and the institution's signatory to Rochelle Blaustein at
   
   Rochelle.Blaustein@nih.gov
   Or
   Fax: (301) 402-7461
   
   

Upon our receipt of the properly signed, unmodified document, we will authorize transfer of the materials by the Provider Scientist (this is why it is important that you provide that information). We will return a scanned, color Adobe pdf version of the fully executed document to you and your technology transfer professional at the e-mail addresses you have provided.

IF ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED BY YOUR INSTITUTION, HAVE YOUR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROFESSIONAL DOWNLOAD THE MS WORD VERSION OF THE APPLICABLE DOCUMENT AND SEND A REDLINED, UNSIGNED VERSION REQUESTING THE MODIFICATIONS BY E-MAIL ATTACHMENT TO ROCHELLE BLAUSTEIN AT Rochelle.Blaustein@nih.gov SO WE MAY CONSIDER YOUR REQUEST.

We are pleased to be able to share research resources and seek to make these transfers with minimal administrative impediments so as to avoid delaying the moment when a research tool may be put to use in your laboratory.
