STANDARDS IN THE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH
Policy for Responding to financial conflict of interest (FCOI)
Purpose
The Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases based in Yaoundé, Cameroon strives to create a research climate that promotes objectivity in research by establishing standards such that the design, conduct and reporting of Public Health Service (PHS, which includes NIH) funded research is free from bias resulting from financial conflict of interest (FCOI). This policy is applicable to each employee who is planning to or is participating in research activity that is either partially or wholly supported by PHS funds……CRID’s Policy Conflict of Interest
