Proposed Rule Making

Thursday, May 20, 2010

What:

Partnerships between NIH-funded researchers and industry are often

essential to the process of moving discoveries from the bench to the

bedside. However, managing Financial Conflicts of Interest (FCOI) can be

a major challenge because of the complex relationships among government,

academia, and industry. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which is open

for public comment for the next 60 days, proposes a general revision to

the existing regulations.
