Washington University researchers have begun working under a new addition to an existing policy that limits financial relationships between individuals conducting clinical research studies and the companies that sponsor their research.

According to the policy revisions, faculty, staff or students involved in clinical research, or their family members, should not have financial relationships in excess of $10,000 with companies that sponsor their research or own or license the product being studied. If such financial relationships exist in excess of the $10,000 limit, research can proceed only if an exception to the policy is approved by the appropriate Disclosure Review Committee, the vice chancellor for research and the dean of the college involved.

Shepley University Professor. "Most in our law school community take seriously our professional obligation to help provide affordable legal service and recognize the escalating challenge posed by rising student-debt loads."
