Research Independence and Conflict of Interest

The Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy is part of Duke University, and as such it honors the tradition of academic independence on the part of its faculty and scholars. Neither Duke nor the Duke-Margolis take partisan positions, but the individual members are free to speak their minds and express their opinions regarding important issues.  For more details on relevant institutional policies, please refer to the Duke Faculty Handbook, including the Financial Conflict of Interest Policy and other policies and procedures.   In addition, regarding positions on legislation and advocacy, Duke University policies are available at http://publicaffairs.duke.edu/government.
