Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research Policy
Introduction
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) made significant revisions effective August 24, 2012 to two of its regulations regarding Financial Conflicts of Interest:
These regulations affect 老澳门六合彩图库 when applying for or receiving PHS/National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding from a grant, cooperative agreement or contract. These revisions were drafted to provide further assurance to the public that PHS funded research is conducted without bias and with the highest scientific and ethical standards.

老澳门六合彩图库 Corporate Policy RS.GN.020
老澳门六合彩图库’s research collaboration with pharmaceutical firms, medical device companies and other entities is important to make certain that patients benefit from the translation of biomedical research into the clinical practice. The rules require that 老澳门六合彩图库 identify and where appropriate manage potential financial conflicts of interest that may arise from these collaborations to safeguard the protection of human research subjects as well as the integrity of 老澳门六合彩图库’s research effort.
老澳门六合彩图库 updated and posted its Corporate Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research on August 24, 2012 in order to meet all of the requirements of the regulations.
