Where Work Meets Adventure
The Research Agreements Specialist (RAS) plays a critical role in facilitating the timely and efficient review and negotiation of legal agreements necessary to enable research at the University of Victoria. The RAS ensures that research agreements (funded and non-funded) are accurately drafted, reviewed, negotiated, approved, and signed in accordance with UVic policies and procedures. Sitting within the Contracts Unit of the Innovation and Partnerships Office under the portfolio of the Office of the Vice President Research and Innovation (OVPRI) and reporting to the Manager, Research Agreements, the RAS is responsible for the review and negotiation of external research funding agreements and agreements related to the successful implementation of University research activities and the use of intellectual property created at or by the University.
