Material transfer and data use agreements between universities, industry sponsors, and other outside collaborators are often viewed as routine. Yet the IP, privacy, and legal implications of these agreements – and the sheer number that must be effectively tracked and managed – tell a different story.
These agreements are critical to the operation – and the protection – of the university research enterprise, establishing who is permitted to use and receive a unique data set or research material, along with the allowable uses and disclosures of the data and/or materials by the recipient, while assigning appropriate responsibility to the researcher and recipient.
But often these contractual mechanisms and the logistics surrounding them can create legal, regulatory, and operational challenges for both parties, making an effective and efficient process imperative to ensure your university steers clear of entanglements and avoids backlogs.
That’s why we have tapped Jessica Boyle, an attorney and Associate Director at the University of Iowa’s Division of Sponsored Programs, where she leads the contracts team, for this practical program.
