At the end of this session, participants will be able to…
- Identify organizational, researcher, and research staff conflicts of interest
- Understand the difference between disclosing conflicts and managing conflicts
- Apply risk-appropriate approaches to managing organizational conflicts (such as relying upon an external IRB/EC)
