Long Description:
We are hearing more and more the term translational research – how research results are translated into products or public use. Getting research results from the bench to the public can take several paths and involve several types of agreements outside of the initial supporting research award. These may include non-disclosure agreements, teaming agreements, material transfer agreements, clinical trial agreements, and license agreements with start-up companies. The negotiation and management of these agreements usually involves some unique challenges for research administrators. This program will focus on these agreements and areas of risk, accounting issues, institutional and individual conflict of interest, protection of human subjects, effort certification for investigators, publications, and the special challenges you face in administering all these issues in collaborations with multiple parties and a multi-site clinical trial program. Whether you are involved as the prime institution or as the subawardee we all need to understand and work through the wide range of issues
The faculty for this program are seasoned pros who will share their experiences in successfully managing these unique and challenging agreements.
