Materials Transfer Agreement Conditions for the transfer of biomaterials (specimens, tissues, skeletons, images and associated data) from the SAIAB collections.Materials Transfer Agreement • February 7th, 2024
The South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB) is a National Facility of the National Research Foundation of South Africa. SAIAB has a growing collection of biomaterials (specimens, tissues, skeletons and associated data) and which are available to bona fide researchers. SAIAB has a generally open access policy to the loaning of biomaterials and data. We do, however, apply certain rules to loan requests in order to ensure materials are used optimally and are not wasted. There are also certain logistical constraints which may also affect loan approvals e.g. only SAIAB technicians will sub-sample SAIAB biomaterials, and therefore requests for outgroup material or a series of small transfers with regular progress reports would be favoured rather than single large transfers. For very limited or valuable tissue samples, DNA extractions can be made available, but the costs must be borne by the requesting researcher or institution.
