BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. HHS Direction Needed to Address Financial Conflicts of Interest

Abstract

Enormous growth in government and private biomedical research funding and in financial relationships between government-funded investigators and private industry has increased the potential for financial conflicts of interest to occur that could compromise research integrity and the safety of participants. HHS has regulations on individual investigator financial interests in federally funded or regulated research. The academic and professional communities also have developed policies and guidelines on conflicts of interest and have recently devoted resources to study this issue in more depth.
