<p>NJ_mother,</p>
<p>Can you (or anyone else) clarify something for me? If federal dollars are used to fund a grant for curing cancer, wouldn’t that make the government the owner of any cures/patents that resulted from the grant? If the govt were to require those receiving grants to pay for their own infrastructure, i.e., to jointly fund the research, could the academy claim partial ownership of the cures/patents?</p>
