It is important not to disclose your research or reveal proprietary or confidential information to researchers outside of USJP without first having a confidentiality agreement in place. A confidentiality agreement needs to be put into place when proprietary or confidential information needs to be exchanged between USJP and an outside party to discuss research or evaluate research or business opportunities. The confidentiality agreement will define the terms under which the research, or proprietary or confidential information will be discussed and exchanged.

An authorized representative from the UBL Cell must sign all IDAs before any proprietary or confidential information is disclosed or exchanged
