Legal issues, Compliance & Ethics within research
Funders and collaborators usually require a contract for a research project, which defines respective rights, obligations, timelines and budget. Furthermore, an ethical application must be submitted and approved before you conduct studies with research subjects, human tissue or laboratory animals. You must also protect information that is linked directly or indirectly to living persons.
Research Contracts & Agreements
It is important to define roles and responsibilities with a legal agreement that covers research activities between KI and third parties: external funders, collaborators and service providers.
