MTA for Receiving Samples

When receiving samples from PBN the 'Master Agreement for Transfer of Materials from PBN' and related Appendices must be completed prior to the receipt of any samples. Please note that a separate Master Agreement must be executed by your Institution for each Investigator requesting PBN Research Materials. However, if you think your Investigator may already have a Master Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) in place with PBN, please email us at pbn@iu.edu to check before initiating the process.

Steps to complete the Master Agreement

  1. Please forward this information along with a copy of the Master MTA to the office at your Institution responsible for review and official authorization of Material Transfer Agreements.
    Please Note: The terms of this Master Agreement and Appendices are not negotiable. We have hundreds of investigators that we work with and require all Master Agreements to be completed under the same terms and conditions.

  2. When your MTA office has signed the Master MTA, please forward the partially executed agreement to pbn@iu.edu.
  3. PBN will complete the signature process and return a PDF copy of the fully executed Master MTA to the responsible parties.
