We are discussing with a company a research project involving human
experimentation and it looks like if  this company does not want to bear all the
necessary costs, asking us instead to charge the patients a minimum fee.  Does
anyone has any experience with  such procedure?  This company told us that this
was the way they were usually working with american universities.  Up to now, we
 were never asked such "condition".
