Research Proposal (Pre-Disclosure)
Benefits of pre-disclosure include:
- A review of IP databases along with scientific literature and the commercial landscape can reveal related innovations, key industry players, and IP protection status.
- Many research sponsors want to know what the return on their funding investment could look like.
- Addressing IP during the proposal phase helps you consider products or services that might result from a research project and that could be used directly by the public, in addition to more traditional opportunities for publications and data sharing.
- A thorough assessment of intellectual asset opportunities, limitations, and pathways for the translation of research into direct public benefits can help distinguish a competitive proposal during the review process.
