Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement
Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement
In 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement (UBMTA) and an Implementing Letter for the transfer of materials between nonprofit institutions. The University of Delaware is one of the institutions which has signed the UBMTA which allows signatory institutions to transfer materials to one another using a boilerplate Implementing Letter for the particular transfer.
Use of the UBMTA is optional, UD researchers may opt to use the Non-Biologicals form as an alternative. Note that the UBMTA Letter must accompany the UBMTA in all cases. Please provide investigator/scientist information as appropriate and sign as recipient or provider. Attach the completed UBMTA to the Webform before submitting.
