CDA/NDA Guidance

Confidential Disclosure Agreements, sometimes referred to as an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) or an RDA (Restricted Disclosure Agreement). Generally speaking, these types of agreements outline what information is confidential, what and how information can be shared, and what information should be restricted from other parties. These agreements allow parties to discuss details of their business and inventions without the fear of making important information public. 

Guidance for New CDAs/NDAs received by Emory Department of Pediatrics and Pediatric Institute Faculty 

For new confidential disclosure agreements (CDA) and non-disclosure agreements (NDA), approval is required by the appropriate office (see CDA/NDA Routing Section below). 

When you send an email, please remember to include the following information:
