For Researchers

Requesting UHN Materials

Research materials developed at UHN are transferred to non-profit research institutes with a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) in place.

MTAs are important because they:

  • Establish terms for the use of research materials.
  • Monitor users and deter unauthorized transfer of materials to third parties.
  • Regulate ownership of further intellectual property generated from use of the material.
  • Warn about the use of material and have users assume liabilities for their use of the material.

Any request for materials should be submitted directly to our office at:

Material will be sent based on availability and consent of the UHN investigator.

Accessing UHN Confidential Information

Research Institutes and Companies that wishes to discuss with a UHN investigator his/her work, should contact the TDC office to prepare and execute a Confidential Disclosure Agreement (CDA) on behalf of UHN.

CDAs are important because they:

  • Establish terms for sharing confidential materials, knowledge, or information in order to protect disclosure of any type of proprietary information.
  • Outline the scope of the confidential information that the parties wish to share.
  • Protect patentability.

UHN's standard CDA ensures that disclosures in either direction, intended or otherwise, are covered by confidentiality.
