What criteria are used to determine conflicts of interest and to manage them?
• ATS definitions of conflict of interest were included in the ATS COI Policy and ATS Tobacco Relationships Policy and are also available in the Summary of Definitions of Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Requirements. • In addition, specific guidance for those responsible for reviewing disclosures and managing COI has been developed for specific ATS activities, such as the International Conference and Assembly/Committee Projects, and is made available to session chairs, project chairs and others responsible for those activities. For example, click to see 2009 International Conference COI Procedures (see “COI Resolution Process”) or the 2009 Assembly/Committee Projects Procedure for Resolving COI.
