TOP OF PAGE Termination Circumstances may arise under which the school or the fellow may wish to terminate the fellowship before its completion. This may be arranged at any time by agreement between the institution and the PhRMA Foundation. Termination will be made with the understanding that all unexpended funds will be returned to the PhRMA Foundation and that any unpaid balance of the award will be canceled. The Scientific Advisory Committee as well as the program advisory committees of the PhRMA Foundation are sensitive to the appropriate use of experimental subjects, animals and humans, in research. In their deliberations, these committees consider all aspects of a proposal and may deny support for many reasons.
Careful consideration is given to humane use and care of animal subjects.
For human and animal research, the project review committees require, in writing, adherence to prevailing standards of ethical research practices, including Institutional Review Board approval before initiation of any research projects. In addition, for human research, assurance of informed consent will be required. The PhRMA Foundation, All Rights Reserved.
