Individual Conflicts of Interest Policy

Abstract

This policy aims to provide cohesive guidance for the disclosure, detection, review, and resolution of conflict of interest issues that may be present in Enterprise-wide transactions, and ultimately, preserve the tax-exempt status of Enterprise entities. This policy promotes objectivity in research by adopting federal standards that provide a reasonable expectation that the design, conduct, and reporting of research funded under Public Health Service (PHS) grants or cooperative agreements will be free from bias resulting from Investigator financial conflicts of interest.
