Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Examples

Hello,

If there are any sites that would be willing to share examples of MOU’s they have used in the process of recruiting providers for this project, please attach them to this message board thread. We would like to be able to share them with other sites that may still be in the process of recruiting providers as we believe it would be helpful for them to see. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much!

Sankan:

I suspect we are of little use here. We are operating out of the same 5 clinical sites that we have engaged since 2009. Our dispersed sites are all within one health system and are part of the University of Wisconsin Department of Family and Community Health. Accordingly, we never required a written MOU.

On the other hand, we have had a very mutually beneficial relationship though the provision of RIDT kits, comprehensive multiplex testing and ongoing, weekly feedback and education.

Kind Regards,

Jon
