Conflicts of Interest Policy
Houston Methodist is committed to integrity and the protection of patient welfare. Our Research Conflicts of Interest (COI) program is crafted to make it easier to ensure that the design, conduct, reporting and publication of research will not be biased by actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Houston Methodist's goal is to promote the identification and, if required, resolution or management of such conflicts in the context of research. Learn more about our COI policy here.

Research Protections
The Office of Research Protections oversees the approval process for research that involves the use of human subjects, animals or restricted materials. Learn more about the rules and regulations here.
