What Is ATHN’s Commitment To Transparency? Is There An Official Policy Regarding This?

ATHN is a non-profit organization represented by a diverse board of directors.  We pursue our mission only through the willing participation of groups and individuals from across the bleeding and clotting disorders community.   While ATHN does not have a written specific “transparency policy” at this time, the board is committed to the highest ethical standards.  It has adopted a policy on disclosure of potential conflicts of interest.  And, it communicates its intent broadly as evidenced by the past and planned media relations and presentations at HFA, NHF and HTC regional meetings.  One recommendation being implemented is the posting of projects under consideration or being implemented by ATHN, similar to the listing of studies on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
