Contract Request Process

1. Complete routing documents must be submitted, according to UC Denver policy, before a contract will be reviewed and negotiated.
2. Electronic copies of agreements must be sent to the following e-mail address: OGC.Contracts@ucdenver.edu. OGC will not accept hard-copies of contracts; it is highly unusual that a contract cannot be secured in electronic format. Contracts will be reviewed by a contracts specialist once all routing documentation has been submitted to OGC.
3. Budgets must accompany all proposed agreements.
4. All contact information with the sponsor and the department must be made available via the dedicated e-mail before a contract will be reviewed.
5. The contracts specialist responsible for review will correspond with the Sponsor and PIs/Administrators during the review process. E- mails ascertaining status may not be responded to until the contractors have begun reviews.
