“Dfccn is subject to the dana-farber cancer institute, inc. ("dfci the "institute") board of trustees policy on conflicts of interest and confidentiality (the "coi policy"). Under the terms of the coi policy, dfccn, through dfci's conflict-related practices, monitors and enforces compliance with the coi policy by board officers, trustees, and key employees ("covered persons") of dfccn. Those practices include annual collection and review of responses to a conflict of interest questionnaire and confidentiality statement (the "statement") requiring all covered persons to disclose interests, roles, and activities that could give rise to a potential or actual conflict with the interests of dfccn. If a trustee fails to complete the annual statement, the chair of the governance committee of the dfci board may take actions to suspend the trustee. The institute requires covered persons of dfccn to complete the statement upon initial appointment to a covered office and to update their disclosures on a continuing basis whenever a covered person becomes aware of a new or previously undisclosed interest. The office of general counsel compares the disclosures to institutional information in order to identify potential or actual conflicts of interest. The dfci general counsel reports on all disclosures to the dfci president, chair of the dfci board and chair of the dfci board governance committee. The dfci general counsel will also inform the chair of the board of dfccn of disclosures relevant to the affairs of dfccn. The board of dfccn is responsible under the coi policy for addressing issues related to conflicts of covered persons of dfccn. A proposed arrangement creating a conflict of interest may be approved if appropriate steps are taken to ensure that dfccn makes a decision in an objective and fair manner consistent with the highest ethical and legal standards. Such steps include recusal of the covered person with a conflict of interest from negotiations or discussions on behalf of dfccn or the entity with which dfccn is doing business and from board or management discussions of such arrangement.”
