Research and development (R&D) partnership models are a common arrangement that can be found in small and large companies alike. While legal agreements provide the guardrails for those engagements, the success of a partnership can hinge on how well the alliance managers and relevant team members manage the grey spaces not explicitly covered in the pre-arranged contract. In this forum, we will talk through some areas that often fall into this grey space such as data ownership, firewalls, and governance committees.

Learning Objectives

Identify areas that may not be commonly covered in collaboration agreements and learn how to effectively negotiate those spaces while maximizing the health of the collaboration.
