This guidance provides an overview of the model contracts that have been created by the Health Research Authority (HRA). It is recommended that these contracts are used unmodified by study sponsors when they contract with sites to deliver studies.
Within the research setting there are many contracts used for different situations. Please see the link below to the IRAS website which will show you the templates of the contracts available.Â

It is recommended that sponsors use these model contracts when they contract sites to deliver their studies.
Sponsors should use these contracts unmodified. If they do modify them, this should be highlighted.
Use of the model contracts provides sites with reassurance that all relevant and important information is included within their contract with the sponsor or CRO.
You can use the template contracts to support your contract review process, to check that nothing has been modified.
