[Name and address of collaborator]

Dear [salutation, name]:

I would like to express my willingness to serve as a collaborator on your grant application project entitled

[project title]. In particular, [description of collaborative work].

I will be able to contribute approximately [%] of my effort to this work, subject to availability of time and

resources. This collaboration is part of my official duties as a federal employee at the National Institute of

Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and no funds from the grant

will be used in intramural research, neither will I accept any form of remuneration, whether in the form of

salary, honoraria, or travel expenses. I will provide scientific input (and mentoring) but will not have any

duties associated with programmatic stewardship, which will be performed by an NIAID extramural

program official. Further, in keeping with the mission of NIAID to promote and facilitate biomedical

research and the dissemination of new knowledge, we would supply requested research materials and

technical expertise not only to you, but also to other interested and qualified parties for research purposes.

Approval for this collaboration has been granted by [Dr. Kathryn C. Zoon, Director of the Division of

Intramural Research (DIR)][Dr. John R. Mascola, Director of the Vaccine Research Center] at NIAID.

I look forward to working with you on this collaboration.

Sincerely,

(signature)
