Research Collaboration Agreement

A Research Collaboration Agreement outlines cooperative research activities between institutions or companies. This playbook discusses IP ownership, publication rights, and funding obligations.

Regulatory Compliance

Why This Matters: Strict regulatory compliance prevents enforcement actions, fines and product delays in highly regulated healthcare and life sciences sectors.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Institution A:

Ensure all compliance measures are clearly outlined and agreed upon. Regularly review and update compliance protocols to align with current regulations.

If you're the Institution B:

Negotiate for clear indemnification clauses to protect against potential non-compliance. Ensure audit rights are reasonable and do not disrupt operations.

Essential elements

1

Compliance Obligations

Adherence to all relevant laws.
2

Audit Rights

3

Action framework
