I want to set up a new contract

Research Contracts cover all manner of research-related contracts on behalf of the University - our Glossary gives more information on the different types of contract we can help you with.

The first step is to contact your Contracts Manager, who'll work with you to draft, review and negotiate the contract you need, and sign it on your behalf. Please remember that research contracts with the University of Reading can only be signed by an authorised signatory!

Your Contracts Manager will need some key information from you which will help them to identify the right contract for your needs. Please have a look our Resources page for more information.
