R2HC Grantee Template: Partnerships Agreement

This page provides essential guidance for using the R2HC Partnership Agreement Template, a tool developed to support collaborative research in humanitarian crises. 

The Partnership Agreement is not legally binding and does not replace formal contracts or memoranda. Instead, it serves as a framework to:

• Facilitate decision-making
• Promote transparency
• Clarify intentions
• Foster a shared sense of purpose among research partners

It is especially useful for projects involving co-production of research between academic and non-academic stakeholders.

The template is divided into three key sections

1. The Research Project and Research Team
2. Data Sharing and Ownership
3. Communications and Ways of Working

This structure is flexible and should be adapted to suit the specific needs of your project and team. Download the companion guidance note to use the Template.
