- This agreement must be accepted as written by the sponsor. It cannot be edited by the sponsor. It has been designed to allow for immediate acceptance.
- If the sponsor requires use of its own NDA, then it will need to be submitted through the NDA Online Request Form. It is likely to take a minimum of 4-8 weeks to execute.
- Do not route the executed NDA to CU Boulder OCG for signature as the document is already executed by the University.

- Email a copy of the fully executed/signed NDA to ocgcontracts@colorado.edu. If using DocuSign, a copy of the fully executed/signed NDA can be routed through DocuSign to ocgcontracts@colorado.edu. It is the responsibility of the PI and research team to maintain a copy of the executed agreement and provide it to OCG on request unless a copy is sent to OCG.
