2. Along with enabling universities and other recipients of federal funding to retain
title to resulting inventions, the Bayh-Dole Act also imposes a number of policy
and reporting requirements on grantee institutions. Recent interest from admin-
istration and the government have caused federal funding agencies to place more
emphasis on ensuring that grantee institutions comply with these requirements.
TreMonti Consulting, LLC (TreMonti) is focused on providing industry leading re-
search compliance management services to universities, research institutes, and
government organizations. We serve our clients at all levels of their organization.
For every engagement, we assemble a team with the most appropriate experience

depth knowledge in all aspects of research compliance. We utilize state-of-the-art
tools and methods to assure our client institutions that they are and remain com-
pliant with applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and guidelines.
TreMonti’s team of business and technology professionals has hands-on experi-
ence in managing intellectual property portfolios, including reporting technologies
and intellectual property to federal funding agencies. Our team stems from organi-
zations such as Deloitte & Touche, KPMG, and various industrial sectors. They
are recognized as noted authorities and industry leaders in technology transfer,
compliance, commercialization, and licensing of intellectual property.
Our success is based on developing strong working relationships with clients as
well as the funding agencies themselves. By listening to our clients’ specific issues
and working directly with agencies, we are able to develop management and busi-
ness improvement-based strategies to bring and keep our clients in compliance.
We have rendered advice on best practices in Bayh-Dole compliance and advise
clients regarding policy requirements, compliance management process, reporting
(including iEdison reporting), best practices, educational programs, auditing, and
other issues relating to federal reporting compliance. Our services cover the entire
Bayh-Dole compliance process.
