Relationship Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Resolution
According to AANI and ACCME policies, everyone who is in a
position to control the content of an education activity must disclose
financial relationships with any commercial interest to the provider.
An individual who refuses to disclose relevant financial relationships
is disqualified from being a planning committee member, a teacher,
or an author of CME, and cannot have control of, or responsibility for,
the development, management, presentation or evaluation of the
CME activity. In addition, the AANI must implement a mechanism
to identify and resolve all conflicts of interest prior to the education
activity being delivered to learners. The resolution of conflict is
handled by the Education and Science Committees. Disclosures for
everyone in the position to control Annual Meeting content can be
found on the AAN Annual Meeting website. In addition, education
and science faculty disclosures can also be found in the syllabi, slides,
handouts, and/or are given verbally from the podium.
Unlabeled Use Disclosure
The AANI requires all Annual Meeting presenters to disclose if a
therapy/product is not labeled for the use being discussed or if the
therapy/product is still investigational. Unlabeled use disclosures can
be found in the program materials.
Grants
Some Annual Meeting education and scientific programs are
supported in part by educational grants from commercial entities.
Disclosure of the educational grant is done through acknowledgment
statements on the program materials, signs outside of the room, and
verbally from the podium. Although educational grants are received,
all programs are developed and implemented solely by the Education
Committee and Science Committee. The terms, conditions, and
purposes of the commercial support are documented in a written
agreement between the AANI and commercial supporter. The AAN
uses grant funds to support and enhance existing, as well as new,
education programs.
