Subject matter

Biological material, any related information, and any products that are replicated or derived therefrom by RECIPIENT.

Summary of use(s)

The Biological Materials shall be used solely for non-commercial research purposes in connection with the research project (described in Attachment A) located in the RECEPIENT Scientist's Laboratories. The Biological Materials will not be used for testing in or treatment of humans, and shall not be used, directly or indirectly, for commercial purposes.

Purpose or background

As a matter of convenience, SDSU has agreed to abide by all terms and conditions of the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement ("UBMTA") as published in the Federal Register on March 8, 1995. Transfer of biological materials between institutions that are signatories to the UBMTA may be completed by using a brief Implementing Letter which identifies the material and the parties and confirms that the transfer is being made under the terms of the UBMTA. For a copy of the UBMTA, see the separate entry in this contracts database.

However, transfers involving proprietary materials and/or commercial entities may require greater levels of protection and the more detailed Proprietary Material Transfer Agreement may be preferred or required. For a copy of the Proprietary Material Transfer Agreement, see the separate entry in this contracts database.

For non-proprietary materials or transfers to non-profit entities, it may be simpler to use a Simple Agreement which is shorter and contains fewer restrictions and reporting requirements. A copy of a Simple Agreement is attached to this contract summary.
