Prime Contractor Name

Prime Contractor City

Prime Contractor State

Prime Contractor Country

The Bayh-Dole Act provides for flow down of invention rights. The subcontractor may retain rights, but is obligated to comply with reporting requirements to the same extent as the grantee or contractor organization. IEdison allows reporting of subcontractor inventions. In addition to the subcontract number to identify the subcontractor, iEdison allows the subcontractor to identify the prime contractor: name, city, state and country. This information lets the government track the flow-down provisions of the law.

The iEdison system allows up to four subcontracts to be associated with an invention. Subcontractor information may be added using the "Add/Edit Subcontractor Details" button.

Prime Contractor DUNS

The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, provided by Dun & Bradstreet, is a nine-digit number that uniquely identifies a business entity. Entry of a DUNS number is optional; however, all entered values must pass a system validation check.

Note: Entry of a DUNS number is not valid for federal iEdison User Profiles or the NIH iEdison Accounts Administrator.
