Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual Policy Right document outlines the university’s policy towards:
Overhead and Consultancy
 Indirect costs or institutional overhead costs represent the costs incurred by the university in supporting research by the PIs. Grant applications from Ashoka should include institutional overheads at a minimum of 15% or as per funding agency norms.  Research and Development Office  may undertake negotiations on overheads with funding agencies if required[A1] .
Consultancy projects require careful negotiations between the PI, Ashoka University, and the commissioning organisation to ensure safeguarding of university’s intellectual rights. RDO facilitates discussions on the terms of the agreement with client organisations on behalf of the university. RDO also undertakes due diligence on consultancy agreement drafts, working in conjunction with other internal teams, including the legal team and other offices as required.
An Institutional Review Board (IRB) comprises a committee that reviews and approves research involving human subjects. The purpose of the IRB is to ensure that all such research is conducted in accordance with legal, institutional, and professional ethical guidelines.
