Does anyone's institution require the contract to have language stating that
the residuals can be kept and how that they'll be used?

When funds remain after all bills are paid for industry-sponsored projects,
half the funds go to an account used to support the research of the
investigator(s). The other half goes to an unrestricted account in the
investigator's home section/department which is most often used to support
additional research. The investigator is free to support any research s/he
desires as long as it is within the mission of the hospital and meets all
other requirements. We consider all industry-sponsored contracts fixed-price
contracts, unless the terms and conditions state otherwise, and that any
residual is not connected to the original project. We close out the project
account upon tranfer of any residual funds.

I would be interested in knowing how those of you involved in the management
of industry-sponsored clinical trials handle any funds remaining AFTER all
of the work is completed, i.e., after the company has accepted all
deliverables required in the contract, and all of the bills are paid.   Do
you leave the residual funds in the same account that was established to
support the work of the clinical trial, or move them to another account?  Do
you place restrictions on the use of the residual funds?  At the end of the
trial, do you consider any residual funds to be completely dissociated from
the original contract and thus available for expenditure for any
research-related activity, assuming that no contract clauses survive the
contract which might obviate this option?  What if your investigator wanted
to utilize residual funds to finance a collaborative research agreement with
another entity for basic research, would you be comfortable with it?
