Conflicts of Interest in Human Subjects Research
The PHS regulations about financial conflict of interests require which party to disclose significant financial conflicts of interest?

An example of an institutional COI is:
An industry sponsor pays for the construction of a new research laboratory at the organization
The FDA regulations governing disclosure of individual COIs require:

A researcher's membership on an advisory board with an organization sponsoring research can create a COI because:
It may be difficult for the researcher to appear neutral, as the researcher may have an interest in the research's success
The peer review process can create conflicts of interest because the choice of who reviews a potentially publishable project may show:
There may be bias by the peer reviewer as to the area of research
