A Data Transfer Agreement (DTA) should be used when transmitting or receiving any data and there is a need to control the use, transfer, storage, and/or disclosure of the data.
For example, a DTA would be required when transferring human subjects data, even if it is de-identified, to ensure compliance with the signed consent forms and that appropriate information security measures are in place at the receiving institution.
UC Davis Office of Research has the authority to negotiate and execute DTAs for UC Davis. Contact mta@ucdavis.edu for assistance.
Email dataservices@ucdavis.edu to schedule a consultation related to the organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of data.
