How can a company sponsor research or collaborate with Dana-Farber investigators?
Collaborations are relationships between our investigators and companies. Contact the investigator. The investigator will decide if he wants to collaborate, which projects interest him, and how a collaboration would fit into his laboratory and research interests and avoid overlap with existing NIH commitments. Investigators can negotiate the scope of the research, a research plan, and a research support budget. ORTV will then negotiate the sponsored research or collaboration agreement terms, including the scope of any intellectual property rights to be provided. Once the investigator and the company establish a relationship and develop a research proposal, the investigator, ORTV and the company can work together to set up an agreement acceptable to all parties.
