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] 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.

 

The web version of the process is found at: Non-Financial Agreement

 

For reference, other offices and agreement types those offices manage.
