A Project Master Agreement (PMA) is an umbrella contract between UAB and another entity that sets the legal terms and conditions that will govern multiple studies/projects between those parties. A PMA facilitates faster approval of subsequent clinical trials or research projects because most terms and conditions, especially the most arduous (e.g., intellectual property, indemnification, publication rights, compliance, governing law), have already been negotiated. An attachment (e.g., exhibit, addendum, task or work order, etc.) to the PMA is ordinarily utilized to incorporate the scope or statement of work, budget, and any additional terms specific to that study/project.

The PMA is identified as “Unfunded Agreements” for the Agreement type in myUABResearch.
