>
>We are interested in developing a Material Transfer Agreement internal review
>form/checklist that would parallel the internal review and sign off that our
>Proposal Transmittal Form does for external proposals.
>
>The kind of concerns we have thought about would include information about
>technical and administrative contacts, addresses, approval of department chair
>and dean (including a statemnt about the risk assessment, laboratory safety
>concerns); whether the PI has any other existing agreements that involve the
>same  or derivative materials; any related commercial licenses, pending
>patents, etc.
>
>Does anyone have such a checklist or similar internal MTA review criteria you
>would be willing to share?
>
>Thanks
