Managing Financial Conflict of Interest in Biomedical Research:
The US Public Health Service, of which NIH is a part, is the only federal agency to have regulations regarding FCOI in research.1 In addition to the individual responsibilities ascribed to NIH-funded investigators, institutions that receive NIH funding have responsibilities to develop policies to implement the regulations and to adhere to such policies. In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that the existing federal regulations, which were promulgated in 1995, need to be clarified and strengthened to ensure greater transparency and accountability. Without such changes, even more instances of real or perceived FCOI will likely be encountered in the future.
