==Measures of the relationship==
*Patents can (and frequently do) have more than one assignee at a time. Assignment also changes as patents are sold or exclusively licensed (as well as for other reason). Patents with joint assignment or sequential assignment are relevant.
*Clinical trials have one or more sponsors and one or more locations. Clinical trials jointly sponsored by a startup and a medical center facility or sponsored by a startup and then located at a medical center facility are relevant.
*NIH grants have one or more recipients as well as associated patents and trials
==Status==
At present Catherine is matching patents, grants, and clinical trials to Medical Centers. She's going to write this up as a separate report for the [[Medical Centers and Grants]] project.
