This allows the institutions to better ensure proper composition and balance of committees that will be used in authoring reports of the Academies.<\/li>\n<li>Under the policy, all committees used in authoring reports are divided into categories based on the nature of the task. Each category has a separate form to be filled out by provisional committee members.<\/li>\n<li>For anyone interested in quickly understanding the National Academies&rsquo; approach to determining whether or not a conflict of interest exists for a provisional committee member, the best place to start is reading Part II of these forms after glancing at the policy document. Part I of the forms is intended to provide relevant background information to help the institution to determine an appropriate balance of scientific viewpoints on the study committee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Policy on Committee Composition and Balance and Conflicts of Interest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/coi\/bi-coi_form-0.pdf\">Download the 11 pdf-pages<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/coi\/index.html\">full text<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Academies perform an unparalleled public service by bringing together committees of experts in all areas of scientific and technological endeavor.
