CONFIRMED: The Alphabet Soup of Agreements
MTA, CDA, IIA, MOU and SRA. If you are an academic researcher, you'll likely encounter this alphabet soup at some time during your career. Some you might see frequently; others, only if you become involved in commercializing a research project or providing consulting advice. They are all acronyms for different types of agreements that formally define a relationship. In an era where external collaboration is becoming more and more valued, it is important that faculty understand the importance of these different documents. Here, you will be introduced to the most common agreements used by universities and why they matter.
