NOTICE OF MEETING - OPEN MEETING ON CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
P.T. 42; K.W. 1014004, 1014006
National Institutes of Health
Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration
On June 27 and 28, 1989, the National Institutes of Health and the Alcohol,
Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (NIH/ADAMHA) will sponsor an open
meeting at the Masur Auditorium of the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center at
NIH in anticipation of guidelines to govern standards of conduct about
potential or apparent conflicts of interest for grantee and contractor
institutions/organizations and individuals. The goal of the meeting is to
create a framework within which institutions/organizations could develop
approaches to oversight of their conflict of interest situations. In
addition, it is critical to clarify appropriate standards for research
projects spanning the breadth of the science NIH/ADAMHA supports. While
guidelines must be flexible enough to allow for institutional/organizational
governance, NIH/ADAMHA is seeking to articulate a standard which all
institutions must meet to be eligible for funds. All interested parties are
encouraged to attend. We invite broad attendance.
Pre-registration is required due to the limited capacity of the auditorium.
If you plan to attend, please send a fee of $10 for coffee breaks and
miscellaneous expenses together with you name, affiliation, address, and phone
number to:
Mark S. Brown
Social and Scientific Systems, Inc.
7101 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 610
Bethesda, Maryland 20814-4805
Telephone: (301) 986-4870
The check should be made out to Social and Scientific Systems, Inc. Any
questions may be directed to the above contact.
The meeting will define conflicts of interest from judicial, congressional,
industrial, and academic perspectives. It will address the opportunities and
problems that occur when an academic/non-profit institution develops
for-profit subsidiaries while receiving government research funds. Discussion
will also address issues that directly involve the scientist such as: (1) Is
it possible that funds, stock ownership, equipment, etc. from for-profit
organizations will unduly influence research results? (2) How should outside
activities such as honoraria, consultantships, etc. be treated when an
investigator has a Federal grant or contracts for work related to the aims of
that outside organization? (3) What should be the accepted policy for
disposition of intellectual and biological property obtained from
government-financed research? Who should finance retention and sharing? and,
(4) Are students or research plans being directed to areas of lesser
scientific or scholarly merit to enhance the potential for monetary gains?
Issues that relate to institutional responsibility include determination of
the responsibility, nature, and appropriate focus for oversight. What should
be the guiding principles for evaluating assurances and waivers? What
remedies and/or sanctions, if any, should be instituted?
Interested parties from all sectors may send written comments by June 15 to:
Dr. Katherine L. Bick
Deputy Director for Extramural Research
National Institutes of Health
Shannon Building, Room 144
Bethesda, Maryland 20892
Although written comment is strongly encouraged, opportunity will also be
available for participants to speak during the discussions at the meeting.
Following this meeting, NIH/ADAMHA intends to develop appropriate guidelines
that will clarify pertinent types of research situations and personal
financial interests consistent with the PHS Grants Policy Statement, January
1, 1987, revision, concerning Standards of Conduct for Employees for awardee
organizations, and to define appropriate distributions or governance between
NIH/ADAMHA and awardee organizations. This open meeting is designed to elicit
comments from concerned and interested individuals and institutions prior to
development of general guidelines.
