DISCLOSURE/CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) requires that audiences at FASEB-sponsored educational programs be informed of a presenter's (speaker, faculty, author, or contributor) academic and professional affiliations, and the existence of any significant financial interest or other relationship a presenter has with the manufacture(s) of any commercial product(s) discussed in an educational presentation. This policy allows the listener/attendee to be fully knowledgeable in evaluating the information being presented. The Program will note those speakers who have disclosed relationships, including the nature of the relationship and the associated commercial entity.

All authors of submitted abstracts completed the disclosure statement in the online submission program. Invited speakers who are not required to submit an abstract received a form in the mail that they completed and returned.

Disclosure may include any relationship that may bias one's presentation or which, if known, could give the perception of bias. These situations may include, but are not limited to:

For full-time employees of industry or government, the affiliation listed in the 2006 Abstracts will constitute full disclosure.

Disclosures for invited speakers and abstract presenters are provided at the end of the session listing for invited speakers and directly after the body of an abstract for abstract submissions. If there is no conflict of interest or disclosure listed, this means that the invited speaker and/or abstract presenter indicated no conflicts to disclose.

The disclosure information will correspond to the key above. If disclosures are given, the company name, along with the respective disclosure relationship number will be listed (for example: Company Name, 2, 8.).
