The Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement: Origin and EvolutionUniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement • December 17th, 2008
In the late1980s, there was a rising tide of concern about the impact of material transfer agreements (MTAs) on the research enterprise. A number of articles were written about the problem, faculty members were complaining, and technology transfer offices were feeling the heat. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Technology Transfer was receiving so many complaints that it convened a meeting in 1990 to discuss possible solutions. That meeting was held on the NIH campus and drew a considerable number of concerned technology transfer professionals and Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) leaders. That was the beginning of the effort that resulted in the uniform biological material transfer agreement (UBMTA).
