What action(s) could be taken by the NIH as a result of its review of records and/or other information that may be available regarding such conflicting financial interests?
The NIH may decide that a particular conflict of interest will bias the objectivity of the research it funds to such an extent that further corrective action is needed or that the Institution has not managed, reduced, or eliminated the conflict of interest in accordance with the regulation. The NIH may determine that suspension of funding is necessary until the matter is resolved.
