Material transfer and data use agreements are critical to the operation – and the protection – of the university research enterprise, establishing who is permitted to use and receive a unique data set or research material, along with the allowable uses and disclosures of the data and/or materials by the recipient, while assigning appropriate responsibility to the researcher and recipient.
That’s why we have tapped Jessica Boyle, an attorney and Associate Director at the University of Iowa’s Division of Sponsored Programs, where she leads the contracts team, for this practical distance learning program. Ms. Boyle has designed this webinar workshop to provide you with guidance on:
- The optimal contractual structures of Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) and Data Use Agreements (DUAs)
- Common problems and mistakes, and how to avoid them
- Industry and university perspectives on negotiating appropriate terms and conditions in MTAs and DUAs
- How to negotiate more efficiently for a smoother collaboration
- How to gain efficiency in processing agreements and avoid overburdening staff, faculty, and partner organization
- Overcoming common logistical challenges associated with these type of agreements
