National Council of University Research Administrators Satellite Teleconference – Complex Agreements
Sponsored by the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration
June 10, 2008
11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Student Center Theater
We are hearing more and more the term translational research – how research results are translated into products or public use. Getting research results from the bench to the public can take several paths and involve several types of agreements outside of the initial supporting research award. These may include non-disclosure agreements, teaming agreements, material transfer agreements, clinical trial agreements, and license agreements with start-up companies. The negotiation and management of these agreements usually involves some unique challenges for research administrators. This program will focus on these agreements and areas of risk, accounting issues, institutional and individual conflict of interest, protection of human subjects, effort certification for investigators, publications, and the special challenges you face in administering all these issues in collaborations with multiple parties and a multi-site clinical trial program. Whether you are involved as the prime institution or as the sub-awardee, we all need to understand and work through the wide range of issues. The faculty for this program are seasoned pros who will share their experiences in successfully managing these unique and often challenging agreements.
This program has a brief case study which should be reviewed in advance of the program. It can be found at http://www.ncura.edu/content/misc/videoseries/Complexagrmts0608/docs/ComplexAgreeCaseStudy.pdf (2-page pdf).
A glossary of common terms associated with complex agreements can be found at http://www.ncura.edu/content/misc/videoseries/Complexagrmts0608/docs/ComplexAgreeGlossary.pdf (3-page pdf).

New Web Resource for Limited Submission Grant Opportunities
An increasing number of federal and private funding agencies restrict the number of grant proposals or fellowship applications that an institution may submit in response to a given program solicitation. For these limited submission programs, the University of Kentucky has a well-established internal selection procedure to identify potentially competitive applications. Detailed requirements for program-specific internal competitions are announced through the Proposal Development Office (PDO) and disseminated through pertinent subject mailing lists. For announcements and guidelines for internal competitions, subscribe to lists of interest at this link: Subject Mailing Lists. The Provost’s Office or the Office of the Vice President for Research notifies applicants who have been selected to represent UK through submission to a specific program.
To provide a comprehensive overview of the array of limited submission programs and to facilitate proposal planning and development processes, PDO has posted two new web pages accessible by clicking these links:
Limited submission programs targeting a specific department or college are included in the comprehensive list but are coordinated at the departmental or college level.
For questions about a particular program or if you identify a program that limits submission but is not listed here, please contact the Proposal Development Office to ensure that an application is appropriately considered (257-2861 or proposal@email.uky.edu).
