AUDIO ONLY - Partnering with Non-Profit Funders

This is an audio-only, downloadable recording of the webinar described below.

This session will cover various intellectual property topics relevant for many non-profits and the research institutions that they fund, including: the non-profit funder's approach to intellectual property; the essential elements of the non-profit funder's intellectual property policy; and partnering with the non-profit funder after an invention has been created.

The speakers will discuss National Multiple Sclerosis Society's intellectual property policy as it relates to university technology transfer practices and objectives. Dr. Allegretta will provide his organization's insights and experiences, and Dr. Lu will draw from her experience working with numerous other non-profit funders. Dr. Lu will also describe the work of the Non-Profit Funder Research Institution Partnership, a group of research institutions and non-profit funders whose goal is to establish a framework that encourages long-term effective collaborations between their organizations.
