Financial Conflict of Interest in Public Health Services Funded Research

BJC HealthCare is committed to overseeing the conduct of research in a manner that ensures the integrity of the research process and maintains the public trust and that of sponsors in the integrity and credibility of its faculty, its staff, and its research programs. This commitment requires BJC to ensure that there is no reasonable perception that research results are biased by the external commitments and/or financial interests of persons who are responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of a BJC Member or Affiliate’s PHS-funded research activity.

BJC’s policy, Financial Conflict of Interest in Public Health Services-Funded Research, outlines the measures taken by BJC to identify, review, assess, determine, and manage real and potential financial conflicts of interest to ensure the objectivity and integrity of research and to comply with government regulations and BJC policies.

BJC has a responsibility to maintain an up-to-date, written, enforced policy on financial conflicts of interest and to make this policy available via the publicly accessible website.
