XII. Organizational Structure and Process for Oversight and Management of University Interaction with Industry

RECOMMENDATIONS

  1. Committee Responsibilities

    1. Independent Review Committee on Conflict of Interest should continue to review financial and other conflict of interest disclosures and take appropriate action.

    2. Technology Transfer Advisory Committee should continue to advise on intellectual property, patent, copyright, and licensing issues.

    3. A new standing committee, named the University Interaction with Industry Committee, should be established by the Chancellor to provide direction, oversight, coordination, further policy development and revisions, and continuous monitoring of University interactions with industry. It would be desirable for the new committee to consider at an early date the following issues: virtual companies owned by UCSD employees, material transfer agreements, unfunded collaborations, science research park, and any desired changes in State or Federal laws or practices.
