Hi,
I am not sure what you need help on.  Does your researcher have a NIH
Commons user account - user name and password.  If not then you
should get him registered.  Is there someone in the grants office who
does this for people?

Next you will need to have your Grants Office IT person, the
department IT administrator, or someone in the central campus IT
security office install the needed Certificate on the researcher's
computer.  This is a program that makes sure that the transmissions
are coming from whom the sender says he is and received by the
intended person.

These are only technical issues.  Is there some problem with the
researchers rights to the intellectual property?  That is not
something I can help with.

Bob

Dear Colleagues

I need a bit of help.

I have just received a note from one of our chemist/researchers on
campus as

Mary,
 We have submitted a compound for testing at National Cancer
Institute (it
is a novel compound).  They will test against approximately 60 diseases
(from cancers to Alzheimer's) in test tubes.  The first step.   Tom

Dear Prof
Thank you for registering to submit compounds through our online
submission
application.
Your USERNAME is :
Your password is :
User Names and passwords are case sensitive.
The next step is for you to enroll for and install a digital site
certificate which will protect the security of your transmitted
information.
Be sure to enter the DTP, NCI assigned USERNAME above when applying
for your
certificate.

You must install the certificate on a browser that uses 128-bit
encryption.
Minimum browser requirement:

See:  http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/dtpcacertenrollinstructions/enroll.html

Once you have installed the certificate you may begin providing the
structures of compounds you would like to have tested.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

What should be the role of the Intellectual Property Committee in
this - is
there a role?  I am at a loss as to what to do - if anything!

Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.  You can respond directly
to me
if you so choose at xxxxxx@valdosta.edu.  Thanks.
