Transferring Research Data and MaterialsMaterial Transfer Agreements
|
Materials Transfer Agreements (MTAs) are used for incoming and outgoing materials of Loma Linda University to other research institutions, commercial companies, etc. MTAs describe the terms under which LLU researchers and outside researchers can share materials, typically for research or evaluation purposes. Intellectual property rights can be endangered if materials are used without a proper MTA. Helpful Links & Tools for Material Transfer Agreements

Personnel Activity Reports (PARs)
Affiliate Invoices & Effort Certification
|
Personnel Activity Reports (PAR) (xls) This form, generated by University Payroll, lists the total activity for which the employee is compensated. Total activity is listed with the account numbers the employee is paid from in conjunction with the level of effort being paid from the different accounts or sponsored projects. The employee must evaluate the effort and accounts and determine is it is accurate or if changes need to be made according to what they actually spend their time (effort) on. Affiliated Invoices & Effort Certification (xls) This document is used to certify effort for NON-University employees. Effort reporting systems have not been set up with the various Loma Linda affiliates such as Faculty Physicians and Surgeons, Loma Linda University Health Care, LLUMC, etc. Therefore, Affiliate Invoices & Effort Certification documents serve two purposes: 1) to certify employee effort, and 2) to reimburse the affiliated entity for the time the employee spends working on the project.

Budget Planning Rate Guide (pdf) This document summarizes important information to consider when drafting a budget for a sponsored research project, such as current F&A rates, fringe benefit rates, salary caps, tuition and health insurance rates for students and post-docs, etc. Detailed Budget -- This budget example breaks down the estimated project costs in detail. A detailed budget template is available for federal projects to help determine the costs of a project. For non-federal projects, a separate template is available. NIH Modular Budget – NIH does not require a detailed budget to be submitted if the project allows for modular budgeting. However, the institution does require detail for personnel and costs that are exempt from F&A. This budget lists personnel costs in detail (required by the institution) and summarizes the remaining costs. An NIH Modular Budget template is available to help determine how many modules should be requested. Please note that subcontract direct and indirect costs are both charged as direct costs. However, the subcontract F&A costs may be requested above the normal $250,000 direct cost limit. NIH forms provide fields to separately capture consortium F&A costs for each budget year.Note, consortium/contractual F&A costs are not factored into the direct cost limit. They may be requested in addition to the $250,000 limit. Clinical Trial Cost Budget – The clinical trial budget template is very detailed. Budget Justification example Proposal Budget Review Guide (pdf) This document identifies the information and documents that will be required in order for Research Affairs - Financial Management (RAFM) to review and approve a proposal budget.

Confidential Disclosure Agreements (CDA) protect the confidentiality of an invention as it is being evaluated by potential licensees. CDAs also protect proprietary information of third parties that LLU researchers need to review in order to conduct research or evaluate research opportunities. Research Affairs - Technology Transfer manages CDAs that are related to non-clinical research contracts. Helpful Links & Tools for Confidential Disclosure Agreements

Licensing an InventionLicense Agreements
Inter-Institutional Agreements
|
License Agreements describe the rights and responsibilities of a party related to the use and exploitation of intellectual property developed at Loma Linda University. LLU license agreements usually stipulate that the licensee should diligently seek to bring the intellectual property into commercial use for the public good and provide a reasonable return to the institution. License Option Agreements (or option clauses within research agreements) describe the conditions under which Loma Linda University preserves the opportunity for a third party to negotiate a license for intellectual property. Option clauses are often provided in a Sponsored Research Agreement to corporate research sponsors or are entered into with third parties wishing to evaluate the technology prior to entering into a full license agreement. Helpful Links & Tools for Licensing an Invention
Inter-Institutional Agreements describe the terms under which two or more institutions (e.g., between two universities) will collaborate to assess, protect, market, license and share in the revenues received from licensing jointly owned intellectual property.
