| 28. Dr. Jones is collaborating with a clinical trial, and receives $500 over his costs for every patient he enrolls. |

| 1. | Tue, 3/13/07 11:35 PM | Whether this accurately reflects the administrative costs or additional costs to him for trial participation |
| 2. | Tue, 3/13/07 11:58 PM | If that reflects his costs, it is okay. |
| 3. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:23 AM | as above |
| 4. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:31 AM | If $500 approximates his clinic overhead for each patient that he enrolls - staff time, lost clinic time otherwise for non-trial patients, then there is no COI. |
| 5. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:34 AM | If costs include the reasonable cost of his time and effort, it is a serious COI to get costs +$500/pt. |
| 6. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:36 AM | Same as #27 |
| 7. | Wed, 3/14/07 3:26 AM | ditto |
| 8. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:59 PM | same as above. |
| 9. | Thu, 3/15/07 2:41 PM | Depends on the actual costs to the office of administering the study |
| 10. | Mon, 3/19/07 5:38 PM | Does it? |
| 11. | Mon, 3/26/07 3:22 PM | see 27 above, though it would be hard to argue that this would not be a moderate-serious COI |
| 12. | Thu, 3/29/07 1:42 PM | depends on actual costs |
| 13. | Tue, 4/24/07 2:02 PM | Comes down to cost incured with enrollment. $500 seems high for time/effort etc. So, modearte COI. |
| 14. | Tue, 4/24/07 10:02 PM | No, if this is reasonable for his incurred costs. |
| 15. | Fri, 4/27/07 5:54 PM | It depends on the justification for the money. If this is simply an award, it is considered bias and would most likely not be approved by an IRB. |
| 16. | Tue, 5/8/07 12:08 AM | As above. |
| 17. | Tue, 5/8/07 3:31 PM | .... |
| 18. | Tue, 5/15/07 4:37 PM | See #27 |
