ACTION: Notice of conference; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: A Conference on Human

Subject Protection and Financial

Conflict of Interest will be held at

Natcher Auditorium, NIH Campus on

August 15–16, 2000. The issue of

financial conflict of interest is one of the

5 main issues identified by the Secretary

of Health and Human Services in her

announcement of steps being taken to

strengthen human subject protection

during clinical trials. In that

announcement, the Secretary stated that

there would be a public process to

review this issue. She said that HHS

would undertake an extensive public

consultation to identify new or

improved means to manage financial

conflicts of interest that could threaten

the safety of research subjects or the

objectivity of the research itself.

Emphasis will be placed on the

informed consent process and how it

might be clarified and enhanced in

dealing with issues related to financial

conflict of interest.

The Conference will review the

current regulatory requirements and

guidance, serve as a forum for

presentations of current approaches

being taken for dealing with real and

potential financial conflict of interest at

the institution, IRB, and clinical

investigator levels. This conference will

help the government refine its current

guidance and may lead to other changes.

NIH has developed a set of issues to

consider related to its regulations which

is now available as background for the

conference. Further guidance will be

issued based on the responses to

questions posed in this Notice and the

conference deliberations.

To facilitate review of current

policies, regulations, and guidance

documents, these documents are cited

as references at the end of this Notice.

The references cited are also available

electronically at the OASPE Website

(http://aspe.hhs.gov/sp/coi/index.htm).

To maximize the efficiency of this

process, six questions (see below) have

been developed. Please address these in

writing by August 1, 2000. This will
