$disclosedthe study on one side, the interest on the other
Drawn for this page. An interest is not wrong in itself; it is weighed, disclosed and managed so readers can trust the findings.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with a study and role code and the date.
  2. Note your role, the funding and any product the study evaluates.
  3. List every outside interest from the past 12 months and mark how it relates.
  4. Note any relationship with participants.
  5. Propose management steps and write the disclosure statement.

What the disclosure is for

Why disclose

Readers trust findings when they know about interests that could shape them, such as authoring or profiting from the program studied. Disclosure, independent analysis and separating recruitment from people with power over participants are the usual ways to manage them.

Federal thresholds

For Public Health Service funded research, federal rules define a significant financial interest to include payments or publicly traded equity worth $5,000 or more in the past 12 months and any equity in a non-publicly traded company; investigators disclose these to their institution. Other funders and institutions set their own rules.

What this organizer is not

It does not decide whether an interest is a conflict; the institution’s conflict-of-interest office does. Follow your institution’s form and deadlines.
