Description: To be successful, contract negotiators must be able understand nuance, evaluate risk, and ultimately finalize agreements as efficiently (and quickly) as possible to facilitate their related activities. However, they must also be able to know which clauses impact, and thus require input from, someone beyond central contracting office personnel. For example, who ultimately is responsible for confirming AAHRPP language? What about when a data provider is requiring that certain technological infrastructure is in place prior to a transfer? This workshop will identify common terms that usually fall within the purview of other institutional departments, as well as the ramifications of agreed-upon language beyond agreement execution.
