I will be receiving data as part of a research project. Does this change the office handling my proposal or research agreement?

No, if the sponsor of your project is the federal or state government, or a non-profit or a foreign government, please keep working with the Sponsored Projects Office (SPO). If your project is sponsored by industry, the Industry Alliances Office (IAO) will handle your agreement. If the review and negotiation of the agreement requires advice, SPO and IAO will work together to come to a workable solution.
