Financial Agreements

When a UTRGV faculty member is offering services, expertise, or materials that involve a monetary exchange (e.g., grant application, subaward), the process will initiate through the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and require the completion of Sponsored Program Intake. The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will manage all designated pre-agreement tasks. Following OSP's involvement, the Office of Grants & Contracts will assist in reviewing the agreement. If needed, the Office of Grants & Contracts will consult with the Office of Contracts & Industry Agreements (CIA) to negotiate the agreement.

Non-Financial Agreements

Research related agreements with no financial consideration may be submitted directly to the Contracts and Industry Agreements (CIA) office through Contracts+ an electronic contract management system within iShop UTRGV (PeopleSoft Application).
