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

  • 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.

Why this matters

The problem. A single compromised collaboration can cost funding, intellectual property, and standing, and a sanctions-list check will not catch it.

What we do. We profile the partner, map their affiliations and funding, and rate the risk before access is granted.

The value. You collaborate with confidence and give funders a record they trust.
