The Health Research Authority has published a statement on the Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) to help research staff determine when Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) are not appropriate.

MTAs are not appropriate when the transfer of tissue is taking place primarily to determine the care pathway for a patient. This includes when the transfer relates to determining the eligibility of a patient for an interventional research study. Transfers of material to help determine the research care pathway should be regarded as urgent and primarily for care purposes.
