The grantor / collaborator requires us to sign an agreement for our research projects, when can I collect the signed copy after submitting the draft agreement and required supporting documents to ORKTS?

Projects that require the signing of agreements with external parties, the following processing time will be required for review, negotiation and execution of agreements:

Research Grant / Collaborative Agreement (For Government / Public Funding)	Minimum Time Required for Processing (Working Days)*
With higher institution, public / non-profit-making organization as signing party	7
With private company as signing party	10

* Additional time shall be required for complex cases, requests with incomplete set of documents submitted, or during peak seasons. Standard agreement templates for research grant applications are available upon request. By using the standard templates, the lead time may be shortened.
