NCCN ORP Conflict of Interest Policy
Integrity, objectivity, and absence of self-dealing are essential at all levels
and in all aspects of NCCN’s activities, including those of the NCCN ORP. NCCN and
its employees are committed to conducting themselves and their activities in accordance
with the highest standards of integrity and ethics.
Members of the NCCN ORP scientific committees may face real or apparent conflicts
of interest with grantors, investigators or institutions. The NCCN ORP has a Conflict
of Interest Policy that sets forth principles and procedures to ensure that the
personal financial and professional interests of scientific committee members do
not compromise the objectivity with which recommendations for research and approval
of projects are made. The NCCN ORP posts disclosures of scientific committee members
on its website and provides appropriate oversight, limitations, or prohibitions
in accordance with this policy.
This policy applies to all members of NCCN ORP scientific committees, including
Scientific Advisory Boards, RFP Development Teams, Protocol Development Teams, Scientific
Review Committees and any ad hoc committees with a scientific focus making decisions
and recommendations related to NCCN ORP research projects.
