Assignment of Abstract Copyright to CROI

By submitting conference materials to the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), authors transfer all copyright ownership to the CROI Foundation. CROI conference materials include the abstract text (if accepted for presentation), electronic posters, and Science Spotlight videos. However, the authors and study sponsor retain ownership of the study data.

US Federal Employees: Work conducted while the authors were employed by the US federal government is not protected by the Copyright Act. Thus, copyright ownership cannot be transferred.

Permission Requests: Permission to replicate or reproduce any part of a CROI abstract must be obtained from the CROI Conference Manager, the International Antiviral Society-USA (IAS-USA), by contacting CROIabstracts@iasusa.org.
