University of Antwerp Policy
The university implements a
policy on financial conflicts of interest related to research funded by
the United States Public Health Services (PHS).
This is a condition for
participation in projects supported by, among others, the National Institutions
of Health (NIH).
The aim is to promote objectivity in research, free
from bias due to financial conflicts of interest of researchers, in its
design and execution. Potential participants in PHS research should
disclose any conflicts of interest prior to embarking on a PHS project.
