Partnership Clearance Report

International collaborations drive research excellence and create exposure. Funders scrutinise partnerships for foreign influence, restricted-entity ties, and IP risk — and a sanctions-list check is not enough. We assess the partner before commitment.

What's included

Scope of work

  • Risk rating — a reasoned determination with supporting evidence, not just a flag.
  • Entity profile — affiliations, funding sources, leadership, restricted-entity ties.
  • Network mapping — institutional, funding, and personnel relationships.
  • Mitigation & documentation — specific actions, and a funder-defensible record.
