Research Collaboration
Non-Disclosure Agreements
If your company would like to share information that it considers proprietary and confidential when discussing a potential research collaboration with a UC Merced researcher, the Office of Technology, Innovation, and Industry Relations can help to establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to allow for effective and robust discussions. The University may also have reason on its side to request that a company enter into an NDA prior to sharing information that it considers confidential. Please contact us at OTIIR@ucmerced.edu with NDA.
