Does the institution require that all significant consulting contracts be reported to a standing committee charged with reviewing and managing individual and institutional conflicts of interest?:
The policy language that requires that all significant consulting contracts be reviewed for conflicts of interest:
The University requires that all significant consulting contracts (e.g. those worth $5,000 or more a year) be reported to a standing committee charged with reviewing and managing individual and institutional conflicts of interest; the contract itself is not required to be submitted. All funded researchers at the University must complete a Conflict of Interest disclosure form in which they are asked to list any current or pending financial interests or income (including consulting) of $5,000 or more related to their research. In accordance with University policy and Federal regulations, the Conflict of Interest in Research Panel reviews investigator disclosures and determines whether a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest exists, a management plan is developed for handling the identified conflict.
Does the institution prohibit faculty, staff, students, postdoctoral fellows, medical residents, and other academic professionals from engaging in industry-led “ghostwriting” or “ghost authorship”?:
The policy language that prohibits industry-led “ghostwriting” or “ghost authorship”:
A DOF appointee may not publish articles or other forms of scholarly communication under their own names in the course of their outside professional activities that are written in whole or material part by employees of the outside entity (i.e., “ghost written”).

Does the institution prohibit participation in sponsored research that restricts investigator access to the complete study data or that limits investigators’ ability to verify the accuracy and validity of final reported results?:
The policy language that prohibits sponsored research that restricts investigator access or verification:
In accepting a grant or contract for research, Princeton University, the departments, and the members of the faculty or staff involved have accepted obligations to furnish Reports and publications describing the research performed and the results achieved.
Does the institution ban confidential corporate research?:
The policy language that bans confidential corporate research:
As a matter of policy the University does not administer funds whose purpose and the character of whose sponsorship cannot be publicly disclosed. The Annual Report of the Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA) contains a full listing of all research projects current during the year, together with brief summary information for each project. The University will not, as a matter of policy, accept any contracts or grants for the support of classified research.
