“A.T. Still Osteopathic Foundation and Research Institute follows the policies of American Osteopathic Association, who is the governing body. Before vendors and capital requests are approved, the requesting officer, director, trustee or key employee must disclose any potential conflict of interest. The current policy enforcement is based on regular collection of conflict information from key staff, trustees, and officers. Trustees, officers, key staff are all educated as to what AOA's policy is regarding a conflict of interest and are expected to disclose conflict of interest and not participate in decisions regarding any entity with which they have a conflict, including decisions on doing business with an organization or individual where there is a conflict. There is a whistle-blower policy that protects employees who disclose a violation of conflict of interest policy from good-faith reporting of a suspected breach of conflict policy. The whistleblower protection extends to financial improprieties and is not limited to conflicts of interest violations. Failure to comply with policy is enforced by disciplinary measures, including removal from office and/or termination of employment.”

Compensation is reviewed each year by vote of the disinterested members of the Committee on Administrative Personnel.
