Generally, if the data was obtained under a grant that was made to the
institution, the institution owns all data and tissue. If the data or
tissue was collected under an NIH or DHHS award, the terms of the award
should say that the grantee institution owns the data. Data (and hence
tissue) can be transferred to another entity under agreement among all
parties (original institution, new institution and NIH). Other facets of
the agreement, such as who can use the tissue and under what
circumstances, are subject to agreement. It would be difficult (in my
estimation) to establish a global policy that would govern all such
transfers.

Not many institutions have data ownership policies.
I believe an agreement is a good idea. It would be nice if the
originating
institution would have a "shop right" to use the data in the future,
but not
clear to me that broader rights would be authorized, absent a data
policy
which identifies responsibilities & rights.
It's something worth pondering. . who is the "steward" of the data?
The PI,
the research team, the institution? Who has the responsibility to
guard
against mis-use, and can authorize others to access/build upon/etc the
data?
As data becomes more important outside research, I suspect we'll see
more
pressure inside academic institutions to clarify our policies.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Data and Tissue Ownership
I am interested in knowing what the general practice is when an
investigator
leaves your institution in regards to data and tissue ownership
Do you allow PI to take original or a copy of research databases?
If data stays, do you have an agreement w/ PI on who will use in
future,
does PI have any input?
In regards to tissue samples, do you allow PI to take or does org
retain?
And if retain, does PI have have any rights as to future use.?
Thanks, Mike
