Submitting a Visiting Scientist Agreement
- If you are interested in hosting a visitor from industry who may collaborate, learn techniques, use our Libraries or other research facilities, please follow the instructions on this page.
- If you are interested in hosting a visiting academic please follow the instructions provided by the Office of the Provost. URA will not be involved.
This process should be completed prior to the arrival of the visitor.
Submission Process
Gather these documents:
- A signed copy of the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services Acknowledgement of Mandated Reporter Status form
- The visiting scientist's CV
- A signed letter of support from your department Chair
Once all three documents are obtained, please contact your department admin for assistance routing them through AURA Agreements as the “Visiting Scientist Agreement” type. When submitted, the URA Contracts Team will conduct the necessary administrative review and return a fully executed copy of the agreement to you.
