Outgoing Not-for-Profit Material Transfer Agreements

To request a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) for the receipt of biological materials from the University of Washington for use in academic research or for teaching purposes, please complete our information request form. You will receive an email confirmation that we are in receipt of your request and then receive a draft MTA for you to review and sign.

All outgoing international MTAs must be reviewed by the University of Washington’s Office of Export Controls to determine whether an export license is required prior to export. Additionally, agreements require additional review if a party to the agreement is an entity located in, or affiliated with, the government of China (including Hong Kong; not including Taiwan), Iran, North Korea, Russia, or Syria. For requests involving these countries, additional processing time will be required. The minimum expected processing time is one month.
