Sponsored Research Agreements (SRAs) are used when an industry sponsor funds a specific research project for a defined time period and in return receives certain deliverables such as research data, reports, and certain rights to intellectual and tangible property.
To initiate negotiation and review of an SRA, please contact Industry Engagement at industry@bu.edu. A team member will confirm receipt of your request and follow up to initiate the negotiation and review process.
Prior to the industry contracting group reviewing a SRA, please complete the following required forms:
The industry contracting group also requires the following documents to review a SRA:
- Budget
- Statement of Work
When SRA terms have been finalized by an industry contracting team member, the agreement will be circulated for signature. Once the agreement has been fully executed (signed by all parties), a PDF copy will be provided to the PI.
