Conflicts of interest to be discussed

Conflicts of interest, both real and perceived, that are of particular interest to researchers working with human subjects are the focus of a program next week.

“Potential and Real Conflicts of Interest in Clinical Research” is the title of the presentation at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 6, in room D-209 of the Health Sciences Center.

The speakers are Michael Corn, a laywer and director of Regulatory Guidance for the School of Medicine’s Office of Research and Graduate Education, and Malcolm Parks, associate provost in the UW Office of Research.

The presentation is part of the ThINK (The Investigator Needs to Know) series on clinical research, sponsored by the School of Medicine, and is open to all faculty, staff and students. For more on the series, see http://www.uwmedicine.org/Research/ClinicalResearch/think.htm.
