Ohio Administrative Code
Title 3364 - University of Toledo
Chapter 3364-70 - Research Protection and Practices
Section 3364-70-12 - Material transfer policy

Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3364-70-12

Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024

(A) Policy statement

All research material that is transferred into or out of the university of Toledo (university) requires review by technology transfer prior to transfer of materials.

(B) Purpose of policy

The purpose of this policy is ensure that the technology transfer department has an opportunity to review the materials, as well as the terms and conditions applicable to the transfer before the transfer is initiated. This review is required as transfer may include provisions that can cause providers or recipients to lose the rights to their creations or inventions or may include language that can prevent the recipient from publishing or even continuing research. The result of this review may include a formal material transfer agreement (MTA), executed by technology transfer, which will govern the use of the material, as well as the rights of both parties.

(C) Procedure

(1) University employees are required to complete and submit an MTA checklist for all material transfers. The checklist is located at https://www.utoledo.edu/research/techtransfer/material_transfer.html. Once complete, please submit the checklist, along with the provider's MTA (if the faculty member is receiving material), to the technology transfer department.

(2) The MTA checklist will be reviewed by a research compliance officer in the research and sponsored programs office while the MTA is reviewed by technology transfer staff.

(3) After the MTA checklist is approved by the research compliance officer and the terms of the MTA are finalized, the MTA will be processed for signature by the technology transfer department.

(4) Upon receipt of all of the requisite signatures on an MTA, technology transfer staff will provide the department or employee with a copy of the fully executed MTA and the department or employee may proceed with shipping or receiving the material.

(5) If the technology transfer staff determine that an executed MTA is not required, the technology transfer staff will let the employee or department know that it is okay to proceed with shipping or receiving the material.
