Following up on the announcement last week, the Office of Research Services has launched a new application form, that will help streamline the legal review process. The new form can be used for a variety of agreements that do not require an account opening. Examples may include:

• Collaboration and/or Research Agreements (no funds)
• Material Transfer Agreements
• Data Transfer Agreements
• Confidential Disclosure Agreements
• Software License Agreements
• Equipment Lease Agreements
• Space / Facility Access Agreements

Two versions of the form have been launched:

1. An application for stand-alone agreements that support general research activities. The [PDF 438 kB].
2. An event form that is linked to a specific project. The [PDF 224 kB].

The guides can also be found on the portal resources page.

The new form has replaced the Material and Data Transfer Agreements that previously existed in separate forms. Researchers still have access to MTA and DTA files that were already submitted. If an MTA or DTA is currently in the signing authority workflow, it will proceed as normal, although the forms are now deactivated and new forms cannot be selected.
