Melbourne ResearchResearch Grants and Contracts

Standard Research Agreement (template)

How do I use the agreement?

This agreement may be presented to the external party during negotiations, but can only be signed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) or by the Vice-Principal (Research).

If the terms and conditions are not changed, the Research Contracts Group will arrange sign-off immediately upon receipt. If changes are required to the agreement, one of our research lawyers will review and negotiate the changes on your behalf. Use of the standard template will shorten the review process as the lawyer will only need to review the required changes.

Completing the Schedule

Complete the relevant details in the Schedule page and insert this in the agreement (pdf) in place of the blank Schedule before signing. The only data to be completed in the body of the agreement is the date.

Once the agreement is signed it is a binding agreement and cannot be varied by simply substituting a new Schedule. If you need to vary the terms of the Agreement, or the details in the Schedule post-authorisation, see our Amendments page.
