MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement  (PDF)

This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) may be used to discuss confidential topics in the process of identifying a collaboration or procurement opportunity. To expedite the negotiation and signature process, please ask your external collaborators or vendors to:

This will send the partially signed NDA to OTT for countersignature. If the information entered by the external party checks out (e.g., name and entity type/jurisdiction match the Secretary of State filing exactly, the university faculty/staff member desires to enter into the arrangement), OTT will sign the NDA and all parties will automatically receive the fully signed copy. All university employees who will have access to external parties’ confidential information will be required to acknowledge, via reply email, that they (1) have read and understand the NDA and (2) will comply with its terms and conditions. (Note: Unpaid university students will not be covered by university NDAs, but instead, will have to sign separate NDAs with the external parties in their personal capacities.)

Questions about this NDA process should be directed to techtransfer@boisestate.edu.

MATERIAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Material Transfer Agreement / MTA Request Form (Google Form)

The sharing of tangible research materials typically requires a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) between the provider and recipient.  An MTA is a legal contract to protect the rights of both entities to set terms and conditions regarding intellectual property, ownership, publication, permitted use, and liability.

What is the process?

The University investigator completes an MTA Request Form.  OTT and the Office of Research Compliance (ORC) will review the request to determine transfer requirements:

  • OTT, with the Office of General Counsel (OGC), as needed, will determine agreement terms and conditions.
  • ORC determines the applicable compliance committee review for materials being transferred to the University.
  • ORC may notify the Conflict of Interest Officer regarding the transfer.
  • ORC may notify Environmental Health, Safety, and Sustainability if the material may be hazardous.

The investigator works with applicable University departments to complete the transfer requirements. The material is transferred.
