Establishing Cooperative Research Memoranda of Understanding
Cooperative Research Memoranda of Agreement are fairly generic. They are similar to Office of International Education Honorary Memoranda of Agreement with the addition of a section explaining the focused area of research that is intended between the two institutions. http://www.colorado.edu/OIE/admin/newaffiliation.html
Review and approvals needed at CU-Boulder:
- Review and approval of the Vice Chancellor for Research. Please familiarize yourself with Research Integrity and Regulatory Compliance standards, including Export Controls. You can find information on this subject here: http://www.colorado.edu/VCResearch/integrity/exportcontrols/index.html
- If funded research, approval by the Office of Contracts and Grants is required
- University counsel approval (if the parties use the template approved by university counsel, the approval process is quick and straight-forward)
- Review and approval by the Office of the Provost
- Signature by the Chancellor Designee or Provost
Timeline:
Dependent on time of year; such an agreement can be approved in as little as a month. Non-standard language requires additional time for review
