Conflicts of Interest

Georgia State University is fully committed to maintaining objectivity in research and upholding the highest scientific and ethical standards. The Policy on Financial Disclosures in Sponsored Research promotes objectivity in University research by establishing processes that provide a reasonable expectation that the design, conduct, and reporting of sponsored research are free from bias resulting from financial conflicts of interest of the University employee involved in the research.

The Policy complies with the Public Health Service revised regulations on the "Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for which PHS Funding is Sought."
