Financial Relationship Disclosure Form

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships

To help ensure integrity and independence in accredited continuing education (CE) activities, the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) requires everyone in a position to control the content of an accredited CE activity must disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies within the past 24 months to SNO. The Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited CE require that SNO disqualify individuals who refuse to provide this information from involvement in the planning and implementation of accredited CE. SNO must mitigate relevant financial relationships and disclose these relevant financial relationships to participants prior to the beginning of the activity.

Mitigating Relevant Financial Relationships: Should SNO determine that a disclosed financial relationship(s) is relevant, SNO will begin a series of steps to mitigate the relevant financial relationship(s) based on the individual’s role in the activity and identify what, if any, action is necessary. The mitigation mechanism will identify potential bias and ensure content is aligned with interests of the learner. Only when the relevant financial relationship(s) has been mitigated may the individual participate in the activity.
