WHY IS IT NECESSARY FOR THE SPONSOR TO INDEMNIFY (i.e., Hold Blameless or Hold Harmless) MUOT?
In the case of a Sponsor-designed research protocol, MUOT simply follows the Sponsor’s instructions in carrying out the clinical study. If someone is injured as a result of the study, the Sponsor should bear the ultimate financial responsibility, NOT MUOT or the P.I. The Sponsor’s obligation to assume all financial responsibility does not apply when an injury is caused by the negligence of an MUOT employee or the institution.
