Overview:

During the life-cycle of a sponsored project, other documents besides the proposal and resulting award may be necessary.  At the proposal stage, you may want to exchange information under a Non-Disclosure Agreement.  In the course of performing the research itself, it may become necessary to share data, materials, or other resources with a partner.  To keep the project moving forward, it’s imperative to know the best way to facilitate such a transfer.  This webinar will examine the different types of ancillary research agreements, when and why they are necessary, and highlight potential negotiation areas.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn about the different types of ancillary agreements
  • Participants will learn when and why an ancillary agreement may be necessary
  • Participants will learn to identify potential issues that arise during the negotiation of ancillary agreements
