Process

The governance process directs the Center, the EPCs, and the work of the Drug Effectiveness Review Project.

Project Communications

Annual meetings, monthly teleconferences, weekly updates, and a public and proprietary website are included in Project Communications.

Conflicts of Interest

The process for gathering and determining the research evidence is absolutely bias-free.  Authors, Center employees, and EPC employees may not have an economic interest in the subjects under review.

Communication with Pharmaceutical Companies

• The Center is the point of contact for pharmaceutical companies.
• Participating Organizations and the Evidence Practice Centers (EPCs) will refer questions and contacts from pharmaceutical companies about evidence or the research process to the Center.
• Participating Organizations will respond to inquiries directly from pharmaceutical companies when they relate to local decisions or local processes.
