Statement on ethical conduct in research by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
J Infect Dis. 1984 Nov 01; 150:(5):792-3

Abstract:

The Society considers ethical conduct to be an implicit requirement of continued membership. It recognises its inability to legislate the morals of its members. It has identified a number of areas where attention to the concepts and procedures set forth may help to avoid misunderstandings and perceptions of questionable or of improper conduct. There are two main headings. Under Research Proposals the Statement outlines the need for peer review, evidence of compliance with existing regulations for research involving human participants, recommends funding to flow through institutional channels subject to audit and gives guidelines for publication of results. Under Personal Conduct the Statement outlines the need for full disclosure of the relationship among the involved parties, potential conflicts of interest, guarding against excessive reimbursement, the implications of other financial relationships, endorsement of products and encouraging speaking engagements to be funded through institutions.
