IN DEPTH
A partnership starts with a defined purpose
The collaboration model follows a shared question, roles, review requirements and expected knowledge output.
Governance and contribution
Agree leadership, ethics, data access, resources, authorship and communication before activity begins.
Output and next step
Define a realistic first output such as a protocol, evidence brief or research meeting; publication follows review.
PRACTICAL DETAIL
Before a collaboration is announced
A meeting or shared interest is a starting point, not an institutional partnership.
Concept note
Describe the question, partners’ complementary roles, resource needs and the likely first output.
Agreement
Record governance, data, rights, approvals, attribution and permitted public statements in a suitable agreement.
Activation
Start a bounded work package with an owner, dates, review gate and a realistic decision point.
Institutional Due Diligence
Review GARC’s institutional reference, governance framework and public institutional profile when considering collaboration. The group-level commitments are distinct from research or partnership arrangements.
