- PUBLICATION & USE OF STUDY DATA: The Institution and Principal Investigator MUST be allowed to publish data from a clinical study at some reasonable time. A 30 day review by a sponsor before publication for identification of sponsor-owned or confidential material and/or patentable materials is acceptable. In multi-center studies, publication 12 months after study termination at last study site is acceptable. See Publications Position for more information. The Institution must retain the right to use data collected during the study and that are retained by Institution. See Data Use Position for more information.

For more information on this clause, see OHSU's policy on Sponsor Liability in Clinical Trials and the accompanying CMS Quick Reference Guide. In addition, refusing coverage for subjects who "do not follow instructions" is not permitted: see Subject Injury Policy - Following Instructions
