Contracting

Contracting can easily derail a promising U-I partnership. ​

Contracts alone don’t create sustainable, mutually beneficial university-industry partnerships. They can, though, single-handedly destroy a relationship that may have taken two years to build.
Contracting strategy must be a part of the overall institutional approach to university-industry partnerships – and UI Collab consultants have the expertise to deliver on the big picture as well as review and advise on
particularly thorny individual contracts.

Our expertise spans:

• master agreements,
• sponsored research agreements,
• federal funding,
• foreground intellectual property,
• export control and foreign influence,
• and tax-exempt bonds
