“The foundation's board of directors adopted a conflict of interest policy which applies to all directors and officers consistent with the model suggested by the internal revenue service. The policy requires that directors and officers disclose any transactions in which they have a financial interest to the foundation's general counsel. The general counsel is responsible for gathering information and preparing a report regarding any proposed transaction where there is a disclosed financial interest and determining whether or not the transaction reasonably could be determined to meet the foundation's standards for approving a transaction, in which an officer or director has a financial interest (i.e., the best interests of the foundation for the foundation's benefit and fair and reasonable as to the foundation). If pcf's general counsel determines the transaction may meet the approval standard, the transaction is reviewed by and either approved or disapproved by a committee of the board of directors or the entire board of directors consistent with applicable state corporate law requirements. As part of the review process, committee of board of directors is required to identify and evaluate potential alternative transactions which do not involve a foundation officer or director. The interested officer or director is allowed to present information to the committee or board of directors but must leave the meeting at which the transaction is considered prior to the final vote. The foundation's conflict of interest policy also requires officers and directors to complete annual questionnaires wherein they are asked to identify all transactions where they may have an actual or perceived conflict of interest. As part of the questionnaire, each officer and director is required to confirm their understanding that the foundation is a tax exempt entity and must engage primarily in activities which further its mission.the foundation's scientific review panels determine which research projects or types of projects will be funded by the foundation, and also has a conflict of interest policy. Panelists are required to abstain from discussions and votes regarding funding for research projects in which they have a financial or professional interest or institutional affiliation.”
