I’ve heard there is a special requirement for clinical research? Is this true?
Yes. In any case in which the HHS determines that an NIH-funded project of clinical research whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment has been designed, conducted, or reported by an Investigator with a conflicting interest that was not disclosed or managed as required by the regulation, the Institution must require the Investigator(s) involved to disclose the conflicting interest in each public presentation of the results of the research. Your Institution’s financial conflict of interest policy may have additional requirements so please consult the appropriate Institutional designated official(s).
