Recently, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) announced that the agency has improved its conflict of interest review process for contractor–managed peer reviews. The US EPA has implemented an oversight process to ensure that contractors follow all existing conflicts of interest guidance and requirements. The new process applies to all future technical documents designated as Influential Scientific Information or Highly Influential Scientific Assessments where independent peer reviews will be conducted by panelists selected and managed by independent contractors. For future review panels, US EPA will publish the names, principal affiliations, and resumes of candidates being considered for the panel. After the selection of the final peer review panel is made, the contractor will consult with the US EPA to review whether the contractor followed existing conflict of interest guidance and requirements and to identify and provide input on any issues. More information about this new process is available on the US EPA website.
