ONCC Examination and Assessment Related Property Rights and Security Requirement

The security of all Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (“ONCC”) examination and assessment materials is extremely important in protecting the integrity of the examination and assessment, and is of utmost concern to the ONCC and its testing company PSI. The compromise of an examina-tion or assessment form or individual items could be very costly, including, for example, the cost to write, print, and administer a new examination or assessment and/or to retest or reassess candidates.

ONCC appreciates your assistance in its examination and assessment development and/or review activities as well as your agreement to protect ON-CC’s confidential information and trade secrets relating to the examination and assessment. Your participation in ONCC’s examination and assessment development and/or review process is conditioned upon your agreeing to the following:

1. To waive all rights relating to assistance you provide, have provided or will provide to the development and item-writing of any and all pro-posed or actual ONCC examinations and assessments. Such assistance is contributed by you to ONCC, without further consideration, on a volunteer basis. At all relevant times in connection with your assistance to ONCC, your work product is a work-made-for-hire (unless you are a resident of California, in which case your work product is not a work made for hire) and such copyrights are therefore owned by ONCC. To the extent your work product is not a work made for hire, you hereby irrevocably assign to ONCC, for no additional consideration, your entire right, title, and interest in and to all work product (for which ONCC will be considered a joint author). Any items or works you submit to ONCC must be original and unpublished material that do not violate the intellectual property rights of any third party, and will become the sole property of ONCC. ONCC, as sole owner of such items and works, may, in the sole discretion of ONCC, use such items and works in any manner or not at all, and/or may create derivative works or compilations from such items or works or parts thereof, in any case without compensation to you and without your review or approval.

You will keep examination and/or assessment materials under secure conditions and shall lock up all examination and/or assessment materials when not directly working with them.

If you violate these terms in any way, you shall no longer be eligible to serve ONCC in any capacity, and ONCC shall be entitled to obtain from you in-junctive relief, specific performance, damages, costs and attorneys’ fees including costs and fees incurred in obtaining any such relief.

All conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest must be fully and immediately disclosed and openly resolved. A conflict of interest is not determined by the individual, but, rather, by an impartial group reviewing the relationship.

B. This policy and the disclosure statement are designed to describe the considerations that help to identify conflicts of interest for all individuals who have a relationship with the Affiliated Organizations.

Relationships include immediate family members, partners, employers, and companies more than 5% owned by the affected individual.

However, a conflict of interest does not have to have financial implications.

e. Research reviewers will be excused from the discussion of specific applications for which they have a conflict of interest.

f. The co-chair or project team leader of research grant review teams will be excused from the entire review cycle if serving as a research advisor for a proposal and the other co-chair or core review project team member will assume his/her duties.
