Procedure in case of conflicts of interest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following procedure applies in case of (potential) conflicts of interest: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Committee members and external assessors shall notify the Foundation of any (potential) conflict of interest within 10 working days from receiving the application(s) to be assessed. Matters of potential conflict of interest are evaluated by the Foundation\u2019s Chief Scientific Officer who, based on this policy, determines the member\/assessor\u2019s eligibility. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Members of the Foundation\u2019s Board of Trustees shall declare any (potential) conflicts of interest to the Board prior to the Board\u2019s discussion and assessment of the relevant grant application(s). Matters of potential c onflict of interest are evaluated by the remaining Board members who based on this policy determine the member\u2019s eligibility. The potentially conflicted Board member shall leave the meeting during this assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An ineligible committee member, external assessor, or member of the Board of Trustees shall be prohibited from participating in the assessment of the relevant application(s). If an application is assessed at a committee or Board meeting, the ineligible member shall leave the meeting during the assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All cases of breach of this policy shall be reported to the Chairmanship of the Foundation\u2019s Board of Trustees, and the evaluation of the application shall be repeated and processed by the relevant committee or board without the influence of the disqualified member.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  [data-block_39ed15b28203bf07b98ee26de6ee6fb0] p {\n    column-count: 1;\n    column-gap: 30px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conflict of Interest Policy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":163,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2724","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
