HRA Update: Model Confidential Disclosure Agreement (mCDA)
Date: 28 May 2025
Confidential Disclosure Agreements (CDAs) (sometimes called non-disclosure agreements or NDAs) are legal agreements that are often used in commercial contract research to govern the sharing of confidential information from the commercial sponsor to the prospective participating NHS or HSC organisations prior to the site agreement.
From Monday 28 April any sponsors of commercial contract research wishing to enter into a CDA with a prospective NHS research site should only do so by using an unmodified model CDA (mCDA) or model Master CDA (mMCDA).
