1. Public Disclosure
Principle
Iowa State University is committed to the appropriate disclosure of the results
of its sponsored activities. In collaborative efforts, the review and input of
all collaborators is desired and welcome to ensure that the proposed disclosure
does not reveal sponsor confidential information or negatively impact patent
filing.
Guidelines
ISU is obligated to publicly disclose the results of its sponsored activities.
The review and input of all collaborators and sponsors is encouraged and may be
contractually required. Review is necessary to ensure that public disclosure
does not reveal sponsor confidential information or negatively impact patent
filing. However, ISU faculty/staff members are responsible for the final
decision on what is publicly disclosed. It is important to remember that public
disclosure includes posters, abstracts, verbal presentations, published
articles, and web sites and may include funded grant applications and email
messages.
