Is there a difference in the review of financial interests related to research involving human subjects?
Yes. The IRC maintains that any research involving human subjects must be free of conflict of interest. Individuals who have independent roles in projects and who are responsible for the design, analysis, conduct, or reporting of the research performed (or to be performed) under a human subjects protocol shall not concurrently receive any compensation from the sponsor or other entity supplying materials, drugs or devices for the project, including honoraria and consulting fees, during the course of the study.
