Document background
Research Grant Agreements are essential documents in the U.S. research ecosystem, used whenever financial support is provided for scientific, medical, or academic research projects. These agreements define the parameters of the funding relationship, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations while protecting the interests of all parties involved. A Research Grant Agreement typically includes detailed provisions for project scope, funding disbursement, compliance requirements, intellectual property rights, and reporting obligations. It's particularly crucial for maintaining transparency and accountability in research funding, whether from government agencies, private foundations, or other funding sources.
