The best long-term, sustainable way forward is to achieve a universal fissile material agreement through the multilateral forum of the UN Conference on Disarmament.
Additionally, the scientific communities of both countries could be brought together to devise verification measures to be implemented in the event a fissile material agreement, bilateral or otherwise, comes to fruition.

These relationships are formalized through memoranda of understanding, material transfer agreements, cooperative research and development agreements, and through research grants (U.S. EPA 2014b).
The Open Material Transfer Agreement is a material-transfer agreement that enables broader sharing and use of biological materials by biotechnology practitioners working within the practical realities of technology transfer.
It is a material transfer agreement, not a memorandum of transfer agreement.
IAO focuses on agreements funded by for-profit groups, along with all incoming material transfer agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and industry membership agreements.
This policy also states that traditionally commercial and knowledge-enclosing material transfer agreements and confidentiality agreements are important for protecting resources that may have value.
Any data and materials that can be shared will be released via a Material Transfer Agreement.
