It is said that if you know others and know yourself you will not be imperiled in 100 battles. If you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one. If you do not know others and do not know yourself you will be imperiled in every single battle.

SPS PrimerContract
A legally binding agreement involving two or more people or businesses (called parties) that sets forth what the parties will or will not do. The majority of contracts must be in writing to be enforceable. A contract is formed when competent parties -- usually adults of sound mind or the authorized representatives of business entities -- mutually agree to provide each other some benefit (called consideration), such as a promise to pay money in exchange for a promise to deliver specified goods or services or the actual delivery of those goods and services. A contract normally requires one party to make a reasonably detailed offer to do something -- including, typically, the price, time for performance and other essential terms and conditions -- and the other to accept without significant change.

Publication and Publicity
As a university that receives public funds it is important to advise the community of the research projects that we conduct, including the name of the project, source and amount of funding.
The goal of most sponsored programs at Cornell is the publication of an article, thesis, dissertation or the presentation of a lecture.

Retain basic freedom to conduct project. Red flag: “technical direction”. Sponsor must not have right to hire/fire
non-key personnel. Sponsor can have right to approve change
in PI. Keep reporting informal and infrequent. Define “acceptable”.
