Yes, CARES maintains a standard template which can be used as needed by legal professionals.

Requirements vary between CARES partners and an agreement may or may not be needed depending on your circumstances. CARES does not require an agreement for data integration and the CARES data integrations team does not lead CARES contracting/legal process efforts. The contracting process at CARES is managed by CARES legal & executive team members.

How to Access Templates

• Contact the CARES State or Regional Coordinator in your geography to get started. More details on who to contact in your region can be found here.

<aside> Note: Templates should be reviewed by legal counsel before use. Some modifications may be needed based on specific partnership requirements or data sharing needs.
