Composition and Balance, Conflict of Interest, and Independence: Policies and Procedures
About
The National Academies adopted policies that are intended to ensure that the hundreds of committees of volunteers appointed each year to participate in the work of the National Academies can successfully fulfill their charge. These policies address committee composition and balance, committee member conflicts of interest, and the independence of committee members from project sponsors. The policies and forms can be accessed through the following links:
