uin	116964
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>The Department funds research via the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Research funded by the NIHR generates a wide range of intellectual property (IP) assets ranging from patents to clinical data. In a knowledge driven economy, effective management of IP is essential to help realise the expected benefits of publicly funded research. In line with other health research funders, IP is produced and managed by diverse third party research organisations including on occasion private companies.</p><p> </p><p>To manage any inherent risks, including those specific to the transfer of rights to private companies, the NIHR has effective commissioning, due diligence, monitoring, analysis and approval mechanisms to ensure that funding recipients are maximising the impact of NIHR-funded IP and that benefits accrue to taxpayers. Furthermore, the NIHR has established an IP Unit to oversee the effective operation and risk management of these activities, and the IP generated across the spectrum of NIHR funding.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 06/12/2017 17:15:17 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
