Material Transfer
Agreements
A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is generally
used when any proprietary material and/or information
is exchanged between VA and non-VA investigators, when
the receiving party intends to use it for his/her own
research purposes and when no research collaboration
between scientists is planned.
CRADA
(Cooperative Research and Development Agreement)
A CRADA is a document that is used when the VA
or a VA researcher wishes to collaborate with private
industry, nonprofits, or private organizations on a research
study.
VA
Invention Disclosure
VA employees must report their inventions to the
Office of the General Counsel for a determination of ownership.
VA employees include: regular salaried employees, employees
hired under IPA (intergovernmental personnel agreement)
contracts, WOC (without compensation) employees, and employees
with dual appointments with Oregon Health & Science
University (OHSU).
VA/OHSU
Inter-Institutional Agreement
The VA and OHSU have established an Inter-Institutional
Agreement (IIA), called the Cooperative Technology Administration
Agreement (CTAA), for existing and future "joint-inventions"
made by inventors who qualify either as "Dual Appointment
Personnel" or have at least one inventor from each
party. The agreement authorizes OHSU to have the
exclusive right to negotiate, execute, and administer
any license agreement. The CTAA was effective December
15, 2001.
