Contract Information

Common Types of Contracts 

1. Purchase of Goods of Services - When acquiring goods and/or services, regardless of the funding source for payment for those goods or services, the Office of Procurement will negotiate and review the relevant contractual agreement. The Office of Procurement works closely with OGC and will elevate issues to OGC as needed.
2. Research and Academic Collaboration Agreements - All agreements that contemplate sponsored research or academic collaborations (whether for basic or applied research of translational activities) should be directed to the Office of Sponsored Programs & Research ("OSPR"). OSPR works closely with OGC and will elevate issues to OGC as needed.
3. Student Practicum and Internship Agreement - Each college should have a single point of contact for agreements to facilitate students practicums, internships, and externships, both for TU students seeking to engage in hands-on learning off campus and non-TU students who wish to participate in a practicum, internship, or externship at TU. OGC has provided written manuals and guidance to these points of contact to facilitate the efficient review and execution of agreements. For questions outside the scope of OGC's written guidance, please submit a Contract Review Request Form. 

Contracts that do not fall within one of the identified buckets listed above can be submitted to OGC for review using the below form.
