Introduction
The Disclosures Tab summarizes an investigator's answers to the Intellectual Property questions from the Investigators tab.
Article Body
If an IAF has an industry sponsor and the IAF is neither a unrestricted grant nor gift (as indicated on the waiver's tab), the investigator must answer Intellectual Property (IP) questions on the investigator's tab at the time of their approval. These answer's are summarized and displayed on the Disclosure's tab of the IAF. When the Background IP is 'NO', there will not be anything listed for for Background IP. When Background IP is 'YES' on the investigator's tab, it will be listed first, followed by the Foreground IP information. The Foreground IP will display as either "Non-exclusive license for internal use" or "Up front commercial license" depending on how the investigator answered the IP questions. Examples are listed below.
