Thank you for your interest in conducting a survey of the Spine Intervention Society's membership.

You are asked to complete this Disclosure survey in accordance with the Society's Disclosure Policy. The purpose of the disclosure policy is to protect the interest of the Spine Intervention Society (“the Corporation”) when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of a director, officer, division or committee member, speaker, author on Spine Intervention Society publications, manager of the Corporation, or individual member. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to non-profit and charitable corporations.

The potential for conflict of interest can exist whether or not the Discloser believes that the relationship affects his or her judgment.

This disclosure policy applies to all participants in any and all Society activities, including the implementation of a survey of the Society's membership.

Disclosers must disclose any and all personal financial interests, affiliations, personal relationships (including family members such as spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sibling), and other relationships perceived as potentially influencing the board, division, committee, or task force activities. Conflicts of interest include, without limitation, subject matter that has a reasonable potential to result in financial, professional, or other personal gain or loss for the Discloser, the Discloser’s family, employer, or other persons with whom Discloser maintains a relationship. The Discloser’s financial disclosure is based on a time period of one year prior to the survey's submission, the current year, and the foreseeable future.

For more information, please see the Disclosure Policy - www.spinalinjection.org.

Please mark "No Relationship" where applicable. All positive answers require a company name and relationship with entity.
The Research Division chair will review your disclosure along with your application. Any conflict must have resolution prior to approval. If you become involved with any entity that may present a conflict during the course of your survey of Society members, you must update your disclosure.

Any refusal to disclose relevant financial relationships may result in the denial of your survey application.
