GRDC Research Agreements
The GRDC contracts most of its research projects using its standard Research Agreements:
• a standard two-party Research Agreement, to be used where there is only one Research Organisation or where any additional research participants will sign a sub-contract with the Research Organisation
• a multi-party Research Agreement, to be used where there are two or more Research Organisations and all parties need to sign the agreement. This will most often occur where the Project Outputs are likely to need to be commercialised in order to maximise adoption.
The 2011-12 Research Agreements incorporate only minor changes from the 2010-2011 Research Agreements. The changes are listed on the front page of each agreement.
The GRDC uses other agreements where appropriate. For example, some projects are better suited to services agreements or consultancy agreements.
Please contact Geoff Budd, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, if you have any questions about GRDC contracts, on 02 6166 4500.
