            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
     CHAPTER 30--DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, HOMELAND SECURITY 
                      ACQUISITION REGULATION (HSAR)
 
Sec. 3052.235-70  Dissemination of information--educational 

institutions.

    As prescribed in (HSAR) 48 CFR 3035.7000, insert the following 
clause:

    Dissemination of Information--Educational Institutions (DEC 2003)

    (a) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) desires widespread 
dissemination of the results of funded non-sensitive research. The 
Contractor, therefore, may publish (subject to the provisions of the 
``Data Rights'' and ``Patent Rights'' clauses of the contract) research 
results in professional journals, books, trade publications, or other 
appropriate media (a thesis or collection of theses should not be used 
to distribute results because dissemination will not be sufficiently 
widespread). All costs of publication pursuant to this clause shall be 
borne by the Contractor and shall not be charged to the Government under 
this or any other Federal contract.
    (b) Any copy of material published under this clause shall contain 
acknowledgment of DHS's sponsorship of the research effort and

a disclaimer stating that the published material represents the position 
of the author(s) and not necessarily that of DHS. Articles for 
publication or papers to be presented to professional societies do not 
require the authorization of the Contracting Officer prior to release. 
However, a printed or electronic copy of each article shall be 
transmitted to the Contracting Officer at least two weeks prior to 
release or publication.
    (c) Publication under the terms of this clause does not release the 
Contractor from the obligation of preparing and submitting to the 
Contracting Officer a final report containing the findings and results 
of research, as set forth in the schedule of the contract.

                             (End of clause)
