Contracts and Agreements

The button below goes to InsideState where you can find templates for the agreements described below. The Assistant Vice President for Research Development and Administration (AVPRDA) has authority to sign these agreements on behalf of 成人视频. As a general rule, 成人视频 faculty, staff and students should not personally sign any research agreement.

To execute an agreement, the Principal Investigator and sponsor complete the template by adding the sponsor鈥檚 information to the highlighted sections and project details to any accompanying Exhibit or Appendix. They then return the completed draft to the AVPRDA. If there is a need to negotiate any terms of the agreement, the sponsor sends a redlined copy to the AVPRDA. Once the terms are accepted by all parties, DRED routes a final copy for signatures.

If you receive an agreement template from another entity, you should forward the agreement to the AVPRDA for review and approval along with contact information for the external signatory.
