The National Institutes of Health and the National Science
Foundation together fund more than $40 billon 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. But now, with Robert P. Charrow's
"Law in the Laboratory," they have a readable and entertaining
introduction to the major ethical and legal considerations
pertaining to research under the aegis of federal science funding.
For any academic whose position is grant funded, or for any faculty
involved in securing grants, this book will be an essential
reference manual. And for those who want to learn how federal
legislation and regulations affect laboratory research, Charrow's
primer will shed light on the often obscured intersection of
government and science.
