Subject: [RESADM-L] Teaming Agreements and Funding Promises

> Dear Colleagues:
>
> As our faculty members' reputations grow, they are
> increasingly called upon to "team" with local contractors to
> develop competitive proposals, generally for the federal
> government.  We enter into "Teaming Agreements" with these
> companies and make every effort to include language in those
> agreements that commits them, at least in "good faith," to
> fund our university's efforts if the application is
> successful.
>
> We have heard on a number of occasions from faculty who feel
> that they have been "used" by these kinds of arrangements,
> when the work was funded but the company was later unwilling
> or unable to support our particular statement of work.  This
> has caused some hard feelings.  We want to support these
> collaborative efforts, as there may be potential for
> lucrative funding for our faculty.
>
> We are considering some alternate language suggestions for
> future "Teaming Agreements," in the hopes that we can
> minimize the cases in which our faculty's contributions go
> unrewarded.  Have any of you run into this kind of
> situation, and, if so, how have you handled it?  If anyone
> has some more definitive language that they have used in
> "Teaming Agreements," our research office would certainly be
> happy to see it.
>
> Thank you for your assistance.
