Industry Collaboration: Research agreements, legal review and considerations
In preparation for the 2026 Health & Life Sciences Industry Collaboration Initiative on September 22, we have arranged 3 virtual pre-event sessions for UCalgary researchers.
Each session will focus on different support units who can help navigate how you work within the UCalgary innovation ecosystem to move your research-to-impact.
This session will provide an opportunity to ask questions and hear from Research Legal, CSM Legal and the Research Services Office (RSO) on submitting research agreements through IRISS, legal review timelines, budget and overhead requirements, and engaging with AHS entities and commercial sponsors.
Presenters:
Chris Chow
Director, Research Agreements, Research Legal
Stephen Harris
Senior Legal Counsel and Manager, CSM Legal
Alisha Kadam
Officer, Research Grants (NSERC), RSO
