Service Level Expectations (SLE)

The Service Level Expectations document is a great way to learn more about WHO we are, WHY work with us, and HOW.

Submit Your Idea

The Inventor Portal allows Cincinnati Children's employees to submit invention disclosures, to review the status of existing disclosures, and to review patent filing details and agreements associated with invention disclosures.

User Instructions

If you are not sure whether you should submit a disclosure or if you have any other questions regarding the technology disclosure process, please email us in order to be connected with a team member.

Confidential Disclosure Agreement

If you plan to have a meeting or provide confidential information with someone from outside Cincinnati Children's and have not received an agreement from the organization, please submit a CDA Request via HRS.

Material Transfer Agreement

A Materials Transfer Agreement (MTA) is required whenever you want to send any material to anyone outside of Cincinnati Children’s. “Material” can be a mouse, cell line, plasmid, reagent, or other item that you created here or purchased while at Cincinnati Children’s. If you brought materials with you to Cincinnati Children’s from another institution (for instance, if you moved your lab to Cincinnati Children’s), then your first institution may require an MTA for you to send those materials to anyone else. Finally, you may receive an MTA from another institution if someone there wants to send you materials. The Innovation Ventures Team can help you with all aspects of materials transfer, whether you are sending or receiving materials. Our turn-around time for initial contact and processing of an MTA is typically 3-5 business days.

Request an MTA for Outgoing and Incoming Materials through HRS.
