You're attempting to crowd fund some research right now. How does that ultimately affect the property rights and accessibility of the research?
For example, work funded by the NIH is legally mandated to be made publicly available via Pubmed. With your crowd funding, do the backers get access to your publications?
Regarding intellectual property, I know that most universities retain ownership of any patents derived from research funded through government agencies. Other times researchers work on contract with private companies, in which case the company retains all rights to anything resulting from the work.
How does funding from many individual donors effect these issues?
