Conflictos de Interés en la Investigación en Nutrición: ¿Mucho ruido o muchas nueces? = Conflicts of Interest in Nutrition Research: Empty Pots Make the Most Noise
Abstract
Resumen: En los últimos años ha crecido el interés y la preocupación sobre el potencial de los conflictos de interés que pueden afectar la credibilidad de resultados científicos. Los eventuales conflictos de intereses deben manejarse de un modo riguroso declarando las fuentes de financiación de la investigación nutricional; separando a la fuente financiadora privada de la planificación, análisis y divulgación de la investigación; evaluando la calidad de la investigación; salvaguardando el honor y la credibilidad de los investigadores; incentivando la búsqueda de recursos privados para la investigación nutricional, de forma transparente; reconociendo la insuficiencia de la financiación pública y siendo muy escrupuloso con los conflictos de intereses identificados que han dado lugar a sesgos o fraude de forma probada, entre otras medidas. Una cuestión de ética, responsabilidad y buenas prácticas.
Palabras clave: Conflicto de intereses; Financiación de la investigación; Asociaciones entre el Sector Público y el Privado, Ética
Abstract: In recent years increasing interest and concern has focused on the potential conflicts of interest that can affect the credibility of scientific results. Possible conflicts of interest should be managed in a rigorous way by declaring the sources of funding for nutrition research; separating the private funding sources from the process of planning, analysis and dissemination of research; evaluating the quality of research; safeguarding the honor and credibility of researchers; encouraging the transparent search for private resources for nutritional research; recognizing the lack of public funding and facing severely against the identified conflicts of interest that have led to proven bias or fraud, among other measures. A matter of ethics, responsibility and good practice.
Key words: Conflicts of interest; Research funding; Public-Private Sector Partnerships; Ethics
