The Contracting and Organizations Research Institute is an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to the study of the organization and structure of economic enterprise and of the effects of legal, political, social, and economic institutions on the structure and performance of economic organizations. CORI was founded to encourage and enable empirical research on contracting and organizational structure, drawing on such fields as economics, law, business, and related social sciences.

Contributions of Contracts to the Collection
CORI is constantly seeking contracts of all types. Contracts can be donated strictly for confidential Academic Research or for various levels of more open access. In addition to supporting important research, contributions of contract collections may qualify as tax-deductible charitable donations. If you or your organization has an interest in contributing contracts to the collection, in either hardcopy or digital form, contact Michael Sykuta.
Sponsored Research Projects and Grants
CORI's faculty fellows regularly engage in research activity that may be of interest to specific foundations, corporations, or other granting agencies. We are always interested in exploring potential sponsored research programs that fit with CORI's overall mission and research resources.
