The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its employees are dedicated to
upholding the highest standards for patient safety, the ethical conduct of
research, and scientific excellence. It is important that NIH scientists stay
involved in the scientific and health community beyond NIH to share their broad
knowledge in their respective fields and advance public health. Such activities
must be conducted in accordance with stringent standards and transparent policies
for addressing potential conflicts of interest.
NIH and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have developed the
resources below to help ensure transparency regarding outside activities and
proactive management of conflict of interest issues.
