Model Agreements

Before a piece of research can start, sponsors and host institutions need to have appropriate agreements in place. Considerable time and effort can be required to draft different versions of such agreements for the various research scenarios. To simplify this process, the UKCRC Partners and stakeholders have developed a suite of model agreements which can be used "off the shelf", without modification.

  • Report of a workshop on the development of model agreements for commercial collaborative research
  • Model agreement for non-commercial research in the Health Service developed under the UKCRC umbrella through a consultative process.
  • Model agreement for pharmaceutical industry-sponsored trials in patients in NHS hospitals throughout the UK.
  • Model Clinical Investigation agreement for company-sponsored commercial research involving medical devices in patients in hospitals throughout the UK health service
  • Tripartite agreement between a pharmaceutical company sponsoring a trial, the CRO managing it and the NHS organisation where the trial takes place.
  • Model Clinical Investigation tripartite agreement for Clinical Research Organisations
