While this can be inconvenient, it is the best way to ensure that user and contract information is set correctly after activation. Microsoft Online Services for Open contracts have been moved to an activation model for keyless management. Once you have ordered your Open Online services, you will receive an email with a link and instructions on how to activate your services. You can publish documents to different content repositories if the administrator APTS_ContentRepositoryType entry is configured. You can disable the Publish toggle button if you do not want to publish a document to a content repository. The following table describes the effects of APTS_ContentRepositoryType administrator entry, the publish option, and the document selection during activation. The user is logged out to ensure that the most recent settings are applied to the account and that it is correctly linked to the correct agreement. Once a contract has been fully executed (i.e., approved by the university, as indicated by the signature of the President or Assistant Vice-President of Research and the funding agency), the project must be „activated“ through an internal review process, the Allocation Activation Form (AAC), in order to obtain an index number prior to payment of expenses and billing to the Agency. An index number is set by the Office of Financial Accounting and all expenses are charged to the index. The relevant information must be attached to the activation form. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, all costs associated with the contract must be incurred during the term of the contract. (Optional) By default, all contract documents are selected.
Deselect the contract documents that you do not need in the activated agreement. The Publish option is disabled if you deselect a document and cannot enable it. You can deselect the Publish option for a document without deselecting the document if you do not want to publish the document. The contract approval and grant activation process is the mechanism by which principal investigators and appropriate administrators review and accept the university`s obligations with respect to a project. Note: Grant agreements, contracts and cooperation agreements are all legal instruments used to establish a relationship with the company providing funds. Although there are slight differences in the definition, the word „contract“ is used for the purposes of this procedure. A number of companies and startups have already started collaborations with the SiPA framework – see some of their comments below. Does your company want to roll out a pilot project or organize a pilot project to evaluate new technologies? The SiPA offer is structured as a purchase order (P.O.) modified to go through the procurement. For companies, working with a promising startup can bring many benefits, ranging from establishing a new market to attracting a valuable partner or possibly an acquisition. These SiPA models are designed around two common business approval pathways for early contracts and can be used together, sequentially or individually depending on business needs. Click Enable.This will display the Enable Agreement pop-up window.
(Optional) Select the Notify Others switch to notify other stakeholders. Enter the user, contact, or email addresses of the stakeholders in the To field. While partners traditionally spend 6 to 18 months identifying the right engagement format and legal contract and negotiating extended terms in advance, SiPA models offer a simplified approach to structuring early projects between startups and established partners. To do this, they focus on identifying the risks and opportunities of the proposed relationship and structuring the commitments in the form of short service contracts. Other VLSC training resources can be found on this website, including videos. For businesses: Signal to startups that you are committed to removing barriers to collaboration with them, helping to bring promising technologies to market faster by exploring collaboration with a SiPA. Contact Activate to learn more about using SiPA in your startup engagement strategy. Requests to amend a contract, including an extension of deadlines, etc., must be made at least one month (45 days for renewals approved by the NSF) before the end date of the contract. If the principal investigator wishes to have a contract amended, a budget or project review request form must be completed. The Associate Vice-President, Research, with the assistance of the Contract Compliance Specialist, is responsible for negotiating any changes to the contract with the Agency, including improvements and amendments, and for notifying all stakeholders when the changes are approved. When you request an organizational account, your request is sent to your company`s domain administrator, who grants or rejects your enrollment request.
