Conflict of Interest & Confidentiality Policy: Committee service within the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) often requires committee members to review articles, documents, and proposals, and recommend individuals in the field of spinal cord injury for awards or recognition. The best interests of ASIA, its membership, and the field of spinal cord injury (SCI) are served when the evaluation processes are objective, unbiased, and confidential. They are further best served when committee information remains confidential permanently and committee judgments remain confidential until deliberations are completed and formally announced by authorized individuals within the organization.
