Publication Waivers on Sponsored Projects Harold Gollos 07 Nov 2008 09:49 EST

All,

I have a question for the listserve.  Can you send me your insitution's policy on waivers of publication restrictions imposed by sponsors.  Currently this decision falls to the Chief Research Officer at my institution and there is talk about this now defaulting to me and I am very uncomfortable with granting publication restrictions on any sponsored project.  I have spoken to a few of you and I am not finding many major research institutions who grant this waiver.

You're comments are appreciated and please send them directly to me as opposed to the entire listserve.  My e-mail address is xxxxxx@gwu.edu.

Best regards,

Hal Gollos
