Navigate contracts and agreements

Need assistance with contracts or agreements?

Research grants or contracts are between the sponsor and Duke University, not the sponsor and an individual, and the terms and conditions of an award must comply with Duke policy. This means that central offices should always be involved in reviewing award terms and conditions and negotiating contracts. Research collaborations in which data, materials, or ideas will be shared may also require formal agreements to be in place before exchanges may begin.

Campus Schools and School of Nursing contracts and agreements

Personnel from Campus Schools or the School of Nursing should contact orsdatatransfer@duke.edu for assistance with any contracts or agreements that may need to be in place, with the exception of Clinical Trial Agreements, which are handled by the Office of Research Contracts (ORC). The Office of Research Support (ORS) should be involved in the execution of all research-related contracts and agreements, except in the case of Clinical Trials.

School of Medicine (and School of Nursing Clinical Trial) contracts and agreements

Personnel from the School of Medicine (and School of Nursing in the case of Clinical Trials) can utilize the tool below to understand the types of contracts or agreements that may need to be in place, and who should be involved in the execution of such agreements.

Please note that ORC also coordinates contracting for Educational Programs, whether research-adjacent or otherwise.
