Decision Guide

This guide shows where a Data Transfer and Use Agreement (DTUA) should be sent for proper processing. Please review before creating an agreement record in PERA.

Roles

It is the faculty’s responsibility to create a DTUA request via PERA for DTUAs handled by Sponsored Program Services. Students cannot send DTUAs to SPS.

PLEASE NOTE: If Purdue is receiving data, obtain an agreement from the data provider before creating a DTUA request in PERA.

If your data request will be handled by Office of Legal Counsel, do not submit a request in PERA. Submit your request directly to the Office of Legal Counsel using their New Matter Intake Form.

To begin a Data Transfer and Use Agreement

Please follow the How to Create an Agreement Request guide to create an agreement record in PERA*. On the ‘Agreement Upload’ page, select “Data Transfer and Use Agreement” as the agreement type in #5 and upload a completed Data Transfer and Use Agreement Information Sheet to #7 “Supporting Documents”.

Continue through each page filling out necessary information until complete, click ‘Finish’. Your agreement will now be in the Pre-Submission stage. Please be sure to click ‘Submit’ at the top of the list on the left-hand side to ensure your record is ready to be assigned to a contract analyst.

*If Purdue is receiving data, obtain an agreement from the data provider before creating a DTUA request in PERA.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not fill out and upload the DTUA Information Sheet before creating an agreement record in PERA, Purdue contracting will request that you complete a Data Transfer and Use Agreement Information Sheet**. This will delay review of your DTUA. You will receive this request via a PERA system generated email. The email will indicate Action Required for an ancillary review. Complete the information sheet and email it back to spscontr@purdue.edu via Outlook. You don’t need to complete the ancillary review in PERA.

**Unlike other agreement types, the Data Transfer and Use Agreement smart forms will be mainly completed outside of PERA. To expedite your request, please complete the DTUA information sheet and submit it as supporting documentation on the Agreement Upload page in PERA.

Please note that it may take several rounds of email clarification with SPS contracting before the negotiation of the agreement can begin with the data provider or recipient.

How to check the status of a Data Transfer and Use Agreement

To find the status of a DTUA in the agreement module, look up negotiations in process under the In Progress Tab.

Select the DTUA you want information on. The workflow map provides a high-level overview of the status. The history tab will provide a detailed log of activities associated with the negotiation. If you need more information than is presently available in the history tab, reach out directly to the owner identified in the upper left corner of the page.
