U-M's outside interest disclosure and conflict of interest management system in eResearch.

A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is a legal contract that outlines terms of use  (e.g., intellectual property rights) for materials provided to another investigator.  Incoming MTAs and outgoing MTAs involving U-M are negotiated by Innovation Partnerships and are completed via an Unfunded Agreement (UFA) in the eResearch Proposal Management system.

During the project life-cycle, Awards can be changed for the following reasons:

• Incremental Funding
• Change to PI/Key Personnel
• No Cost Extension
• Budget Changes/Corrections
• Supplements

If ORSP determines that an Award Change Request should be a modification, ORSP will create an Award Modification. It will have its own ID (AWD000000-MOD000). The Award state will become Modification in Progress.

Tracking Award Modifications

In-progress and completed Modifications are listed on the Modifications tab in the Award Workspace. See the Modifications tab and Award Modification Workspace for more details.
