Research Programs Sample Clauses
Research Programs. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, during the Research Term, Isis and Biogen Idec will conduct two research programs, each under a separate mutually agreed plan. The first research program will cover research focused on enhancing the Parties’ knowledge of ASO pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the central and peripheral nervous systems (such program, the “Core Research Program” and the plan for such program, the “Core Research Plan”). The second research program will focus on the identification and validation of High Interest Targets, and the identification of ALS Targets, that are eligible to become Collaboration Targets (such program, the “Neurological Disease Research Program” and the plan for such program, the “Neurological Disease Research Plan”). Drafts of the Core Research Plan and the initial Neurological Disease Research Plan have been mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing on or prior to the Effective Date. The Parties will finalize these initially agreed draft plans within [***] days after the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Parties will update such plans at least once before the beginning of each Calendar Year, and submit them to the Neurology JRC for its review and approval. Each update to the Neurological Disease Research Plan will include, at a minimum (i) the activities to support Target Sanction in the Calendar Year covered by such Neurological Disease Research Plan, (ii) any Neurological Disease research to support Collaboration Programs, and (iii) any ongoing work on High Interest Targets from prior Calendar Years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party will be required to complete any activities under the Core Research Plan or Neurological Disease Research Plan if such Party in good faith believes that such activities are not technically feasible given the then-current state of the art.
Research Programs. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Isis and AstraZeneca will conduct two research programs, each under a separate mutually agreed plan. The data generated from these two research programs will inform the Drug Discovery Programs.
Research Programs. Without limiting Section 3.4.1, upon the completion or other termination of any Research Program, MedImmune shall, at its own expense, transfer and/or disclose to Kolltan all Know-How developed under such Research Program that is Controlled by MedImmune. Such transfers and disclosures shall be made (a) in any manner or form reasonably requested by Kolltan (provided, however, that any data included in such Know-How shall be transferred in the form in which MedImmune has collected or maintained such data prior to such transfer) and (b) at MedImmune’s expense.
Research Programs. During the Research Term, Biogen will be responsible for all Biogen Activities under the Core Research Program and Neurological Disease Research Program, and all costs and expenses associated therewith.
Research Programs. Company and Merck shall engage in up to three (3) Research Programs upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The activities to be undertaken by or on behalf each Party in the course of each Research Program will be set forth in a corresponding Research Plan, which may be amended from time to time upon mutual written agreement by authorized representative(s) of the Parties. Each Research Program will have the objective of developing a Collaboration Candidate directed to each Collaboration Target and advancing such Collaboration Candidate through IND Enabling Studies.
Research Programs. With respect to the Research Program for Indication #1 and, if the applicable option under Section 6 is exercised by JT, the Research Programs for Indication #2 and Indication #3, the following provisions shall apply:
Research Programs.

Prior to the Restatement Date, the Parties have agreed upon the initial Research Plan for the Research Program directed to Brain and Ovarian Neoplasms which initial Research Plan is deemed approved by the JSC hereunder. Upon JSC approval of the Research Plan for any other Collaboration Tumor Type, or upon JSC approval of any amendment or modification to any Research Plan, the JSC will attach such Research Plan, or such amendment or modification (as applicable), to the minutes of the JSC meeting at which the same is approved.
Research Programs. The Parties will agree to conduct research programs related to the Product that may include, but are not limited to, the following research topics: (a) [**], (b) [**], (c) [**] and (d) [**] (collectively, the “Research Programs”).
