If any applied research or product evaluations are conducted using the donated product, the results do not constitute an endorsement of the product. A Proprietary Agreement form is also available to enable a private company or an individual to perform research with release of results restricted to the contracting firm or individual for the time designated on the form. All paperwork is usually completed, MOA signed by all parties, and the evaluation approved by the agency, before any trial is initiated. All federal and state regulations applicable to the treatment and evaluation of experimental products must be complied with prior to initiation of any trial. Unless a completed and signed Proprietary Agreement is in place with release restrictions or after expiration of a Proprietary Agreement, results are considered to be public information and available to anyone upon request.
Raw data are available to the contractor or other parties upon request.
Results can not be predicted or guaranteed. Funded projects that are not conducted, for reasons out of the control of the agency such as a targeted pest or disease that does not occur in established field plots or animals, are non refundable. By your signature below, you certify that you and the contracting entity you represent understand and are in agreement with the terms as prescribed herein and that you are an authorized representative of the contracting entity.
