Panel

Looking Beyond the Almighty Dollar: Addressing Non-Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research

Thu, Feb 20, 2025 · 9:15–10:15 AM EST Crowne Plaza

About this session

Plenary 1.

A panel will discuss different types of conflicts of interest that arise in the conduct of contemporary research as well as in the review and oversight of research for regulatory compliance and ethical purposes. The panel will examine potential conflicts held by members of the community involved in research, the growing role of commercial and other non-institutional IRBs, conflicts driven by the increasing competition among university medical and academic centers, and consider how institutions can address and mitigate these conflicts to ensure public trust in research.
