Amid concerns that clinical and basic research is increasingly vulnerable to pressure from industry sponsors, many federal agencies and professional organizations are recommending new or revised policies regardingfinancial disclosure and conflicts of interest. Despite pressure for greater external regulation and common professional standards, little is known about how existing policies are implemented. We analyze the implementation of conflict-of-interest policies within the multicampus University of California system. We show that there is variation among campuses in defining problematic relationships and in determining appropriate remedies to mitigate conflicts of interest. Our study suggests the importance of local culture and context for institutional decision making.
鉴于人们担心临床和基础研究越来越容易受到行业赞助商压力的影响，许多联邦机构和专业组织都在建议出台新的或修订后的有关财务披露和利益冲突的政策。尽管面临加强外部监管和统一专业标准的压力，但对于现有政策的实施情况却知之甚少。我们分析了多校区的加利福尼亚大学系统内利益冲突政策的实施情况。我们发现，各校区在界定问题关系以及确定减轻利益冲突的适当补救措施方面存在差异。我们的研究表明了当地文化和背景对于机构决策的重要性。
