• Research Related Agreements - Please refer to the OSR-SeRA Webinar Recordings & Slides for this webinar.

  • Note: A Research Related Agreement or “RRA”  is a contract between Stanford and one or more non-Stanford entities that governs the conduct of a non-sponsored research project or set of non-sponsored research activities.  Unlike sponsored project agreements e.g., contracts, grants, etc., RRAs are not externally funded by a Sponsor.  Data Use Agreements or “DUAs”, collaboration agreements, consortium agreements, material transfer agreements (MTAs), and non-sponsored subawards all fall into the RRA category.   Effective February 15, 2023, investigators and administrators can request new Research Related Agreements (RRAs) from within SeRA.
