1 like•730 views
The document discusses data rights in the Department of Defense. It notes that data is handled differently depending on whether it involves a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement), public assistance agreement, or contract. Major issues concerning data rights include data deliverables not being defined, using the wrong vehicle (e.g. public assistance for deliverables), deliverables not being reviewed properly, and contracts missing the right clauses around technical data and commercial vs. non-commercial data. The presentation provides guidance on understanding data requirements, the different vehicles for acquiring data, and one's role in the data acquisition process to help address these issues.
