Law in the Laboratory

Description:

"The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation together fund more than $40 billion of research annually in the United States and around the globe. These large public expenditures come with strings, including a complex set of laws and guidelines that regulate how scientists may use NIH and NSF funds, how federally funded research may be conducted, and who may have access to or own the product of the research. Until now, researchers have had little instruction on the nature of these laws and how they work. Robert P. Charrow's Law in the laboratory offers a readable and entertaining introduction to the major ethical and legal considerations pertaining to research under the aegis of federal science funding"--P.
