Patient and Public Partner Financial Compensation Policy and Protocol
We recognize the important contributions patient and public partners make by participating in various activities of the Alliance. This document describes the policy and procedure that the Alliance has adopted to show timely and appropriate appreciation of patient and partner involvement.
Conflicts of Interest Disclosure Policy
The Alliance policy requires all members to fully disclose any real, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest (COI) prior to participation in Alliance activities. This document provides guidance on identification and management of any potential influences of COI.
