A collaboration or consortia is made up of multiple, unaffiliated organizations who are partnering to achieve an innovative solution. Generally, partners are all incurring costs as part of the project and may be sharing background intellectual property with other collaborators to achieve the proposed project objectives. Partners are not allowed to invoice each other for work; this is considered a service provider relationship. If you are forming a collaboration or consortia and want to discuss the structure of your partnership, please contact us.
