Common modifications include: adding new terms or conditions, extending the project period, increasing the funding, etc.  \nBusiness Associate Agreement associated with Clinical Research  \nThis is an agreement between a covered entity (the holder of the PHI) and the recipient of the PHI (such as a service provider) in which the covered entity discloses PHI or in which the business associate creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of the covered entity or another business associate. HIPAA generally requires that covered entities and business associates enter into a Business Associate Agreement to ensure that the business associate will appropriately safeguard protected health information. The business associate contract also serves to clarify and limit, as appropriate, the permissible uses and disclosures of protected health information by the business associate, based on the relationship between the parties and the activities or services being performed by the business associate. A business associate may use or disclose PHI only as permitted by the agreement or as required by law.  \nClinical Trial Agreement  \nThis agreement is between at least two parties and typically includes an industry sponsor, who is  \ndesignated as the Sponsor per FDA guidelines. Other parties may include a contract research organization (CRO) designated by the Sponsor. Common terms generally include; confidentiality of proprietary information, data rights and HIPAA protections, certain regulatory terms, publication rights, inventions and patents, payment schedules, indemnification, subject protection, research injury and budget.  \n• ACTA – The Accelerated Clinical Trial Agreement was developed to streamline the negotiation process. The ACTA represents a straightforward and unambiguous position that sets forth regulatory and contractual obligations, acceptable to both parties. The ACTA can be chosen when used in template form with no modifications or when slight modifications are made and approved by UH legal.  \n• Work Order – A project specific clinical trial agreement that rolls up under a Master Agreement. Work Orders, or Statements of Work, define the work activities, deliverables, timelines, pricing and other requirements. All terms not defined in the work order are governed by the Master Agreement.  \nCollaboration Agreement  \nA contract between UH and one or more organizations that are cooperating in the conduct of a research program. In these agreements, there is generally no transfer or funds between organizations (referred to as a “No Cost Collaboration”) . Instead, the agreement describes the actions that each organization has agreed to undertake, and defines the obligations each party has to the others participating in the collaborative research effort.  \nConfidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreement  \nA confidentiality agreement is sometimes referred to as a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or a  \nconfidential disclosure agreement (CDA) . This agreement is between at least two parties and describes confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for a specific purpose, but wish to restrict access to third parties. It is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. After execution of a confidentiality agreement, the protocol, the clinical trial agreement and other study materials will be released to the participating site.  \nConsulting Agreement  \nAn agreement between a consultant and a sponsor in which the sponsor desires to engage the consultant to provide and perform certain services related to a research project in the area of the consultant’s expertise. This ONLY includes consulting agreements that transfer money to Institution.
