Perceived conflict of interest in health science partnerships.

Perceived conflict of interest in health science partnerships.

University scientists conducting research on topics of potential health concern often want to partner with a range of actors, including government entities, non-governmental organizations, and private enterprises. Such partnerships can provide access to needed resources, including funding. However,...
