Does the NCL publish proprietary information provided to them by their collaborators?
A. Absolutely not! The NCL does not publish information provided by its sponsors without their express written permission. In contrast, data generated by the NCL from characterization of a material may be presented in scientific and public forums if such data are deemed to benefit the cancer research community. This public disclosure, however, pertains only to data generated by the NCL; a sponsor company’s proprietary/confidential information is protected and will not be disclosed under any circumstances. Furthermore, the NCL and its sponsors agree to treat in confidence any written information about the research materials that is indicated as confidential.
