I'd like to say first that I understand the strides the Canadian government has made over the last two years in particular. Some of the products you developed at the national level are very impressive, because we haven't seen that same kind of activity here in the United States. In fact, we've taken some of the documents that you developed and used them as models here. I've also been very impressed with some of my colleagues at Canadian universities, particularly my colleague at the University of Toronto.
Ultimately, I think the best practices come down to what kind of due diligence program a university has. As I mentioned, we spend a lot of time trying to understand who we're collaborating with so that our administration has the knowledge it needs to make an informed, risk-based decision. Everything is going to be based on the quality of the due diligence that we do on individual collaborations and individual projects, and we devote a lot of time to that.
I think the other thing that is very important is that ultimately universities are going to have to solve this problem. Some universities are farther along on the progression than others. We've been very successful here in the United States, especially with our academic security and counter-exploitation program and having universities with great experience help those that don't have that much experience.
Ultimately, the problem is going to be solved by faculty buy-in, so we spend a lot of time developing individual relationships with faculty, helping them understand the risk to their intellectual capital and getting them to become part of the team.
