The dramatic growth in associations between investigators and industry has raised appropriate concern about financial conflicts of interest. Investigators are also faced with potent nonfinancial conflicts of interest. Because career advancement in academic medicine depends on grant awards and research publications, investigators have strong personal interests in the successful completion of their research studies, which often involve human subjects. In this essay, the author explores how nonfinancial interests of investigators can be at odds with the interests of research subjects and outlines an approach to better management of nonfinancial conflicts of interest.
