Ethic

500 words MAX exclude the work cited.

Corporate Research Funding: Assume you are an advisor to a major university, and you are asked to develop a policy on research ethics and corporate funding. Prepare a memo to the university leadership with your recommendations. Your recommendations should address issues related to these (and possibly other) questions:  Should a university accept funding from for-profit corporations to pay for research related to the business interests of the corporation offering the funds. For example, should a school of medicine accept cancer research funding from a biotech company that sells cancer therapies? Or should a climate science program accept funding from an energy company? Or an engineering school working on engine technology and an automobile company? If not, how should the university find funding for its research? If so, what steps should be taken to avoid the appearance or actuality of a conflict of interest?
