Re: Subcontracts with State Institutions Herbert B. Chermside 21 Oct 2002 07:42 EST
We are a state university. Here are a couple of short tutorials for my staff on the subject. Re confidentiality, we have no different confidentiality clause for them than for all other sponsors. Basically, if it is their confidential/proprietary information, we will honor confidentiality on info they give us. We will not bind students to confidentiality (they are not employees, and freedom in educational experience is important) but will agree to avoid exposing them to the material. Sometimes state sponsors have a need for some material they provide to be confidential. Sometimes there is a good reason for a delay in publication (e.g., material going into legislative/regulatory processes, prior to application), but a time certain for publication is absolutely required. These may not be requirements of a state sponsor, but very often are.
