Publication approval restrictions

Restrictions on publication can destroy the fundamental research exclusion as well as violate Princeton University policy on freedom to publish research results.  These restrictions may be stated in many places; the Request for Proposal, the cover letters from the sponsors, or the proposed agreements.  It is very important that they be identified and addressed, because they are sometimes very difficult to negotiate out and may prevent a project from going forward.
