How does the information that is included in the iEdison report compare with what grantee and contractor organizations report via hard copy?
In defining the type and extent of information requested from grantee and contractor organizations, several sources were considered, including: findings and recommendations from the Office of Inspector General Reports, comments received from the extramural grantee and contractor community, as well as suggestions and comments from representatives of the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) and the Council on Government Relations (COGR). The majority of data fields in iEdison are deriving directly from specific provisions of 37CFR Part 401.14. Some fields have been added for several reasons. Time sensitive data fields are included to activate a message notification system that alerts both federal agency staff and the grantee and contractor organizations of impending deadlines inherent in 37CFR Part 401.14. In light of recent Congressional inquiries as to utilization of patented products, the data fields that address utilization have also been expanded. Return to FAQ Table
