MTAs with non-profit and Academic Institution

MTAs with non-profit and Academic Institution

For most published non-human research material being requested by academic and other non-profit institutions, the request may be directed to download Einstein’s standard MTA template from the link below. The requestor should provide the requested information and return the MTA to Einstein signed by the Recipient Scientist and by an authorized representative of the Recipient Scientist’s institution

(For patented/patent-pending or other proprietary research material, a more tailored agreement may be needed. Please reach out to MTA@einsteinmed.edu with such request.)

MTAs with Industry

Exchange of materials to and from industry is managed on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to MTA@einsteinmed.edu with such request. When negotiating acceptable terms, the Office of Biotechnology and Business Development’s role in the process is to ensure that such MTAs are in compliance with Einstein policy (see link below) and NIH guidelines, as well as our existing obligations to any third parties. It’s our intent to protect the best interests of both Einstein and our faculty inventors in these negotiations.
