  Office of Technology Transfer - Letter of Intent
null

 

 



Letter of Intent (LOI) for CRADA

Prior to final approval of the CRADA, a Letter of Intent (LOI) may be signed allowing the research to proceed pending final negotiation and review. If negotiations are lengthy and the scientists wish to proceed before the CRADA is executed the collaborator may request the execution of a Letter of Intent.


Materials-Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (Materials CRADA)

This is a simpler form of CRADA. It is limited in time to one year and does not allow for funds to be provided for support of research personnel, but does provide for the transfer of intellectual property rights to the collaborator. May be necessary in instance where, a company is providing an otherwise un-available material and requests an option to exclusively license intellectual property arising from the research.

Used for the exchange of materials with outside organizations for research purposes. NIH Staff may use either the Simple Letter of Agreement (SLA) [PDF | Word] or the NIH Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) [PDF | Word]. MTA for software (Word).
