How long does it take to have an incoming MTA (third party materials coming to UT) signed by both parties and materials sent to me?
It depends on the terms of the agreement. If the disclosing institution uses the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement, OSP will be able to sign the Implementing Letter associated with that Agreement very quickly. If the disclosing institution uses the UT Incoming MTA template, the process will also move very quickly. In many cases, however, disclosing institutions use MTA templates that contain terms and conditions that are unacceptable to the university. These unacceptable terms often require the university to deviate from State of Texas laws or from federal policies related to biological materials. Due to the need to negotiate acceptable terms, signature to the MTA may be delayed and the materials may not be transferred to you as quickly as preferred. Please be aware that MTA negotiations with corporations can be particularly challenging.
