SUBJECT:

Material Transfer Agreement Process

In response to campus requests, a streamlined process has been developed to more effectively facilitate transfers of research materials. The new format will simplify the Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) procedure by allowing departments/researchers to access information and required forms, at a single site, for both incoming and outgoing materials. A new website has been created for this purpose and can be accessed at the following URL:

http://materialtransfer.ucsd.edu

The Office of Research Affairs hopes that this website will simplify your material transfer needs. Please send us any comments or suggestions you have regarding the new site by simply clicking the "Send Us Your Feedback" link located at the bottom of any page.

I would like to thank the Offices of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) and Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Services (TechTIPS) and their advisory committees for their dedicated work in creating this website and ensuring its ease of use.

Arthur B. Ellis Vice Chancellor - Research
