Pitt researchers wanting to obtain research material from an external repository such as Addgene, should submit the request to the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) as a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA), with the direction of “Receiving”.
These two steps will help to expedite OSP review and approval of Addgene orders:
- Select “Addgene Order” in MyRA.
- Upload a PDF of the Addgene email order containing an active link for OSP to access and approve. Note: Please avoid uploading screenshots that do not have a clickable link.
Please contact the Clinical and Corporate Contracts Team (clincorp@pitt.edu) with any questions related to MTAs and external repositories.
