Negotiating the Contract

The staff of the Office of Research Support and/or the Office of Science and Technology are responsible for negotiating the terms and conditions of awards, contracts and cooperative agreements defining the relationship between the University and the sponsor and clarifying each party's obligations. This is done in consultation with the principal investigator so that he or she understands the issues involved with a contract and can assist by providing background information pertinent to the research being contemplated.
