MODULE ONE: "Innovative Approaches to Managing the Intersection of Interests in Collaborative Research Relationships"

 

The challenge for this section of the agenda is to identify and to feature real cases of collaboration that draw focus to the thorny issues that plague partnerships, and that reveal successful approaches to managing those trouble spots. The cases have been selected to illustrate several very different structural approaches to forming partnerships, alliances, or other types of collaborative arrangements.

MODULE TWO: "Proprietary Impediments to Research Partnerships—Intellectual Property, Patenting, Royalty Rights, and Reach-Through Provisions"

 

While formulaic solutions to these problems do not exist, templates to address each of these issues are relatively plentiful. In this session, speakers will lead discussion of prototypes they and members of the audience have used in negotiating and managing research partnerships with outside parties, highlighting the shortfalls of each; they will discuss the informal or ad hoc solutions they have discovered through experience; and they will direct discussion to options for improved partnering. Speakers and cases have been selected to illuminate differences encountered across disciplines (e.g., biomedical vs. info tech) and across types of institutions.
