Effort Reporting
This session will take a look at the university’s effort reporting system and process, and compare it to what other universities are doing. Although the current regulations in 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Guidance allow for flexibility in the methods of documentation of personnel costs, the University of Houston has elected to continue to follow the more restrictive requirements in OMB Circular A-21 section J.10. We will discuss whether or not UH should also take steps to change now, or continue to monitor how auditors are reacting to some of the new options put in place at other institutions before taking action.s.gov will also be given.
This 50-in-5 session is part of the Division of Research’s University Research Explained Series, developed to support faculty in a variety of research and innovation efforts. It is held in partnership with the Faculty Engagement and Development office.

Protecting Your Innovation
Protecting Your Innovation
Tuesday, November 2, 2021
11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Most faculty spend a lifetime developing something innovative, but some will see the commercial value of their invention disappear in a matter of moments.
Intellectual Property disclosure is not only required by university policy, but is a very necessary step in protecting new discoveries and ensuring a path to public use. The disclosure process is not intended to delay any research or publication activities, but is designed to work alongside those activities to protect intellectual property before any public disclosures take place that may impact IP rights.
In this workshop, we will review the IP disclosure process at UH and answer any questions about filling out an invention disclosure. We will share the criteria we use to assess those disclosures for IP protection and ultimately to lay out a strategy to get technology into the market and to benefit the public.
This workshop is brought to you by the UH Office of Technology Transfer and Innovation.
