The SPA Contracts Team assists faculty and researchers in negotiating and executing contracts with sponsors (local, state and federal government agencies and private sponsors) by facilitating discussion and negotiation of contractual clauses affecting intellectual property, confidentiality, publications and other contractual concerns.  The Contracts Team also handles all aspects of processing of subcontracts to outside entities involved in the substantive and/or programmatic aspects of a specific portion of a sponsored project.
