How is the 40% commercialization preparation requirement addressed in joint projects involving two or more research organizations?

Organizations planning and implementing a joint project must have a shared project plan that demonstrates the synergy benefits, common goals, and the tasks and resources of both parties. In a joint project, a shared minimum of 40% of costs allocated to commercialization preparation can be divided between the organizations in meaningful way. If the project does not progress according to the plan and objectives, funding for both parties in the joint project will be terminated.
