Growing a Culture of
Collaboration Survey
A QUT/CQU research team are conducting a Growing a Culture of
Collaboration Survey
as part of a 10-year longitudinal study into issues/obstacles around collaborative partnering such as cost, time and dynamics
associated with negotiating contracts.
Stakeholder opinions will help inform best practice collaborations and whether common legal and project agreement issues have persisted
over the last decade – as well as possible solutions or assistance that might be developed collectively to facilitate outcomes.
Participation is voluntary and anonymous. The text of the project information sheet is attached below.

This
survey closes on October 19th, 2018 at 5pm.
Thank you for your help on this important issue and please feel free to contact the team if you require any further information.
Project Overview
This survey is part of a cross-institutional research project that investigates the continuing low level of collaboration between industry
and the research sector. It is a fundamental first step in developing stakeholder-driven strategies to more effectively facilitate
collaborative partnerships. It is funded by a grant from CQUniversity. The project has been approved by the CQUniversity Human Research
Ethics Committee, approval number 21006.
What
is the research about?
The survey seeks your views in relation to:
(1) common legal and project agreement issues encountered in forming research collaborations; and
(2) improving the ability of researchers and industry to engage in collaborative research.
What
will I be asked to do?
If you agree, you will be asked to undertake a short survey. Depending on the level of your engagement with the responses, the survey
should take approximately 15 minutes of your time. We recognise that your time is valuable and appreciate you completing the survey. You may
discontinue the survey at any time. Participation or non-participation will not affect your employment or academic standing.
Are
there any risks or benefits to me?
You may find it rewarding to contribute to international research on collaborative partnerships. The survey outcome will also provide a
better understanding of stakeholder perspectives, facilitating the development of strategies to facilitate collaborative partnerships. There
is no anticipated risk to you greater than that of inconvenience for the time taken to complete the survey.
Is my participation anonymous?
Yes. You will not be identified in any use of the data. Data will be securely stored for five (5) years after the publication date of the
last publication based upon the CQUniversity policy.
