Confidential disclosure agreements (CDA)
A CDA is an agreement between the university and an outside entity (company, person) this is used to facilitate discussions of information that is wished to remain out of the public. For companies, sharing of their business needs and development problems can lead towards developing solutions with university personnel, but would also want such needs and programs to not be known to their competitors. For universities, maintaining confidentiality can preserve rights (domestic and foreign) to inventions.

Materials Transfer Agreement
A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is a document that is used by scientists and their institutions when they wish to transfer materials to other scientists and institutions. MTAs provided by outside organizations may contain clauses that are not consistent with the University of Utah policies and procedures and/or federal law. Signing one of these agreements could severely impede a scientist's ability to carry out his or her research or to publish in a timely fashion. It is important that all MTAs evaluated and signed by an appropriate TCO representative.
