Good Will Hunting:
A Warning About Scientific Collaboration Marketplaces On the Internet.
Source: Judy Johncox,
Vice President, Indiana University Advanced Research and Technology Institute
and Kyle Meetze, Associate Director of Life Sciences, Indiana University
Advanced Research and Technology Institute.
Remember the scene in Good Will
Hunting, the 1998 Academy Award-winning movie, where the professor writes
out a complex mathematical problem on the blackboard in the hall for bright,
energetic students to solve? As a scientist, the opportunity to test your
problem-solving skills against others is probably attractive to you. In
the movie it pays off nicely for the young janitor who solved the problem
university students could not. It might not pay off quite so nicely for
you in real life! To avoid potential problems, check with the Indiana
University Advanced Research and Technology Institute (ARTI) - Office
of Technology Transfer.

Guidelines
for Determining an Amendment Type
The Institutional Review Board
(IRB) Executive Committee established guidelines for determining whether
an amendment is considered "minor" or "major." These
are only guidelines and pertain to any amendment to a study that previously
qualified for full board review. Minor amendments can be reviewed via
our expedited review process. Major amendments must be reviewed at a full
board meeting of the IRB. If an amendment is submitted to an expedited
study (e.g., minimal risk) and the changes are such that it still qualifies
as an expedited study (e.g., minimal risk), the amendment can be reviewed
via our expedited review process, regardless of the changes made in the
amendment. See http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/
spon/amend-guide.htm for complete details.

Consultants Paid from Federal
Funds
Strict guidelines must be followed when paying consultants from federal
funds. Some agencies limit the daily rate that may be paid to an individual
while other agencies do not. Be sure to consult the agency's policies
or Research and Sponsored Programs for these guidelines.
External Consultants: When using consultants
from outside the University, the project director must be able to justify
that the consultant is the most appropriate individual to perform the
work and that the fee is in accordance with the consultant's normal charge.
In addition to the consultant's fee, travel reimbursement may be budgeted.
Internal Consultants: When employees
of Indiana University serve as consultants on Indiana University projects
the following must be considered. Consulting among faculty within the
same department is expected as a normal academic activity and faculty
members cannot be paid for this effort. In cases where the consulting
is with another department, the consultant payment must be consistent
with the individual's normal salary. Therefore, faculty on 10-month appointments
may receive one-half of one percent (½ %) of their 10-month salary
for each day of consulting. Faculty on 12-month appointments may receive
one-half of one percent (½ % ) of 10/12ths of their annual salary
for each day of consulting. In addition, it is normally required that
approval be obtained from the funding agency to pay employees as consultants.
