Welcome Corporate Visitors
University Research Administration (URA) is the central University office that formally negotiates and accepts awards for the University on behalf of principal investigators. Susan Boone is Interim Director of University Research Administration.
URA works directly with the corporate community to negotiate and endorse agreements involving:
- clinical trials
- sponsored research
- material transfers
We invite you to review our standard agreements (material transfer agreement; clinical trial agreement; and Sponsored Research Agreement). The indirect cost rates charged by the University may be found at Non-Federal Indirect Cost Rates (March 2003). If you are interested in clinical trials, please visit the website of the Office of Clinical Research.
The University seeks to promote collaboration with industry where we share research interests. To explore these possibilities, please visit the following web sites: UChicagoTech, which is responsible for matters involving intellectual property and the licensing of intellectual property; or the Office of Corporate Relations, which serves as a general resource for corporate contacts throughout the University.
