Dear Colleagues, Re-sending; Seems we had a listserv issue. Don't forget SPA has a process for reviewing, accepting and signing No-Money Agreements related to research (also called Non-Financial Agreements). Examples of No Money/Non-Financial Agreements: * Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA) relating to existing or potential research projects * Confidentiality Agreements (CDA) relating to existing or potential research projects * Data Use Agreements (DUA) * Data Transfer and Use Agreements (DTUA) * Research Collaboration Agreements * Teaming Agreements * Facility Use Agreements * Master Agreements What to do and What will happen: * No-money agreements related to research should be delivered to SPA at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or submit using UVMClick - Agreements (Job Aide Attached). * Include all relevant documentation, emails and any additional instructions needed to process the agreement. * Upon receipt, the agreement is assigned to a SPA Award Acceptance Officer and a UVMClick - Agreement record is created if not already in UVMClick. * The Award Acceptance Officer will work with the PI, staff and the sponsor to complete the document. * For those no money agreements that appear to engage our principal investigator in an organized project that requires a time commitment or other resources of the department, SPA will request the Department Chair or designee's approval of the non-sponsored project prior to completing the agreement. * The final version of the agreement will be archived and retrievable using UVMClick - Agreements<https://www.uvm.edu/ovpr/uvmclick>. The web version of the process is found at: Non-Financial Agreement<https://www.uvm.edu/spa/accept-award#sponsored_agreement> For reference, other offices and agreement types those offices manage.
