A **Memorandum Of Agreement (MOA)** or cooperative agreement is a document written between parties to cooperatively work together on an agreed upon project or meet an agreed upon objective.  The purpose of an MOA is to have a written understanding of the agreement between parties.  The MOA can also be a legal document that is binding and hold the parties responsible to their commitment, or just a partnership agreement.

  : **Note:** An MOU is a document that describes very broad concepts of mutual understanding, goals, and plans shared by the parties. In contrast, an MOA is a document describing in detail the specific responsibilities of, and actions to be taken by, each of the parties so that their goals may be accomplished.
