The conflictofinterest policies of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine generally prohibit an individual from participating in a matter if the individual has a conflict of interest with respect to the matter. When the selection committee that authored this document was established, a determination of whether there was a conflict of interest with respect to any of the proposals to be reviewed by the committee was made for each committee member given the individual’s circumstances and the task being undertaken by the committee. A determination that an individual has a conflict of interest is not an assessment of that individual’s actual behavior or character or ability to act objectively despite the conflicting interest. The below conflicts of interest disclosures were made, related to the committee member’s relationship with the principal investigator, another member of the research team that submitted the proposal, or a shared affiliation. These committee members were recused from any involvement in the review of the proposals with respect to which they had a conflict.
