Bias, Power, Influence, and Competence: The Implications of Human Nature on the New NIH Conflicts of Interest Regulations

摘要

Voice of Experience advances the tradition of service of the Journal of Research Administration by fostering consideration of and reflection upon contemporary issues and concerns in research administration. VOE is a celebrated feature column in each edition of the Journal. In this issue, J. Michael Slocum, Journal of Research Administration Intellectual Property Counsel, presents a review of recent literature concerning conflict of interest as one of the key standards in research ethics. This is discussed in light of the relationship between physician and patient and what that means for informed consent.
