A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is used to establish a confidential knowledge exchange between all parties. When there鈥檚 a strong case for collaborative partnership between a AV俱乐部 researcher and a company, an NDA allows for discussions involving detailed confidential and/or proprietary subject matter. NDAs are introduced early in a relationship, when the nature of the intended collaboration, scope of work, and timelines need to be established before a suitable agreement can be finalized.
*Note for researchers: you don鈥檛 need an NDA before consulting with OCIE or when informally discussing the possibility of a collaboration with an industry representative (provided you aren't disclosing confidential or proprietary information).
*An OCIE Manager will assist in navigating the process map below.
