### Partner with Innovation: University Research Collaboration for Product Launches

Academic research partnerships are critical for validating new products, building credibility, and advancing knowledge in your field. This **University Research Collaboration Application** template streamlines the process of onboarding research partners for your product launch, ensuring you capture all the essential details—from study design and methodology to data sharing agreements and publication rights.

#### Built for SaaS startups and academic partnerships

Whether you're launching a new EdTech platform, health analytics tool, AI solution, or any product that benefits from rigorous academic validation, this template helps you:

 - **Qualify research partners** by capturing institutional details, research objectives, and academic credentials
 - **Clarify study design** with fields for methodology, sample size, timeline, and ethical approval status
 - **Establish data sharing terms** including data ownership, access rights, privacy compliance, and retention policies
 - **Define publication rights** upfront to avoid conflicts over authorship, acknowledgments, and IP
 - **Streamline IRB and ethics processes** by collecting necessary documentation and compliance information

This form replaces scattered email threads and inconsistent intake processes with a single, professional application that sets clear expectations from day one.

#### Why Paperform for research collaboration applications?

**Paperform** makes it easy to build sophisticated application forms that match your brand and collect complex information without overwhelming applicants. The doc-style editor lets you intersperse explanatory text, headings, and conditional logic to guide researchers through technical sections—showing only relevant fields based on their study type, data needs, or institutional requirements.

**File upload fields** let applicants attach research proposals, ethics approvals, CVs, and institutional agreements. **Conditional logic** can show different data sharing clauses depending on whether the study involves human subjects, proprietary data, or public datasets. And **eSignatures via Papersign** (papersign.com) can turn submissions into formal collaboration agreements that both parties sign digitally, keeping everything traceable and legally sound.

Once a submission comes in, **Stepper** (stepper.io) can route it through your internal review workflow—notify your research lead, create a project folder in your document system, schedule a kickoff call, and update your CRM—all without manual handoffs.

#### Trusted by startups building credibility through research

With SOC 2 Type II compliance, GDPR readiness, and enterprise-grade security, Paperform gives you the infrastructure to handle sensitive research data and institutional agreements with confidence. Your application form becomes a professional gateway that signals to universities and research institutions that you're a serious, trustworthy partner.
