Consulting and Scientific Advisory Board Guidelines

• Make sure that your agreement does not inhibit your ability to perform your faculty duties in any way.
• Be aware that you should provide expert advice only.  You may not engage in patient care or research under a private agreement.
• You cannot disclose confidential information that is proprietary to JHU.
• Nothing in your agreement should give the company rights to intellectual property you developed as part of your research and work at JHU.
• Be advised that the company cannot use the JHU names or logos without prior permission from the University*.
• Make sure the company does not quote you except for citation of published scientific material.  A disclaimer must be used.  For example:

Participation by Dr. [Name] [in the development of this product or as a consultant] does not constitute an endorsement by the Johns Hopkins University or the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System.

• You must disclose your relationship with the company in related publications and presentations.

*Permission for use of the JHU name or logos can be requested via JHM Corporate Communications.
