Contracting Services is dedicated to supporting ASU faculty, staff and students in the development, negotiation and execution of agreements for sponsored projects. We ensure that agreements are aligned with institutional policies and external requirements, fostering collaboration between ASU and its customers.
Our team provides guidance, processes, and resources to facilitate contract management, allowing researchers to focus on their sponsored project activities.
The team supports agreements with U.S. government agencies, international entities, local governments, universities, nonprofits, industry and other collaborations, including related agreements such as U.S. government contracts, Subaward agreements, international collaborations, end-user license agreements, and agreements with city, state, and local entities, schools, and nonprofits (both funded and unfunded).
The Contracting Services team manages a wide variety of agreements such as Sponsored Research, Collaboration, Subaward, Services, Non-disclosure (NDA), Material Transfer (MTA) and Data Use Agreements (DUA). We provide assistance as to the best contracting vehicle(s) for a project or researchers’ needs.

Agreement Wizard
Use this Wizard to determine which additional agreement, if any, may apply to your situation by filtering through your contract’s situation to identify the most common scenarios that would require an NDA, DUA, and/or MTA for a project.
If the outside party has already provided an agreement, you will need to consult with the Industry Agreements group, either attach the agreement in an ERA task request or email the agreement directly to [email protected].
The Agreement Wizard generates an outcome, including a PDF printout of your selections (including the suggested outcome) at the end of the survey. Feel free to save this printout and provide it to the Industry Agreements group along with the specific instructions from the wizard.
