Research Contracts & Agreements

If your research involves working with an external entity — whether that’s sharing data, transferring materials, collaborating on joint research, or entering into a confidentiality agreement — you’ll need to initiate the process through the UAMS Research Agreement Intake Form.

Use this form to begin any research-related arrangement involving outside institutions or organizations. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Data sharing agreements
  • Material transfer agreements (MTAs)
  • Joint research efforts
  • Confidentiality agreements

Once submitted, the Research Contracts Office will review your responses and determine the appropriate agreement type for your specific situation.

Complete the Research Agreement Intake Form → (UAMS credentials required)

How to Submit

Complete the intake form with as much detail as possible about your proposed arrangement, then submit it to the Contract team at ResearchContracts@uams.edu.

If you have questions before or after submitting, contact the Contract team at ResearchContracts@uams.edu.

If your agreement involves a foreign national, please visit the International Research Activity page.
