Beginning this month, a new online ‘ORA Contract Request Form’ will be available through One.IU. ORA will allow for a month-long transition before requiring the use of the new online form.
The form is intended to be used for all non-monetary contracts. These include non-disclosure agreements (NDAs / CDAs), Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs), Data Use Agreements (DUAs), Master Agreements, Teaming Agreements, and any other unfunded research collaboration agreement. The form should not be used for sponsored award agreements or subaward requests,
The 'ORA Contract Request Form' will replace the process of emailing different PDF intake sheets to ORAResCo@iu.edu and mtas@iu.edu. This new process will allow us to collect more relevant information when a request is submitted and will make the contracting process more efficient and expedient.
In the next couple of weeks, we will send a more detailed announcement with screenshots and instructions for completing it. We will also arrange a virtual training session toward the end of October for any departmental or project staff who wish to have a hands-on demonstration.
You may wish to share this email with project PIs to make them aware of the change in process as well.
If you have any questions at all, please direct them to Katie Morris, Director of Research Contracting, at morriskn@iu.edu.
