CORPORATE PARTNERS


The ISCD is an industry-neutral, international, nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of quality skeletal assessment through standard setting, continuing education programs, densitometry certification for clinicians and technologists, increasing patient awareness and supporting clinical and scientific advances in the field. The field of bone densitometry and the treatment and management of related disease states are constantly changing.


Recognition and access are two key benefits of corporate partnership. With input from our corporate partners, we have designed our Corporate Partnership Program. The program recognizes a company’s year-round contributions— not just its participation in the Corporate Advisory Council and the Annual Meeting. Companies will be designated a level of sponsorship based upon their yearly participation. This structure will help our corporate partners with their own annual planning, as well, by providing a much longer term view.

 

The Corporate Partnership Program has three main components, each of which presents its own unique benefits:


• Corporate Membership
• Year-Round Sponsorship
       – Educational and Global Opportunities
       – Publications: Web and Printed Materials
       – Position Development Conference
• Annual Meeting Sponsorship

Participation in all programs - Corporate Membership, Year-Round Sponsorship and Annual Meeting Sponsorship will be calculated, and the corporate partner will be awarded the corresponding sponsorship level. Corporate support of ISCD through this program will allow the organization to work toward the realization of its goals and, in turn, assist the corporate partners in achieving their goals.

ISCD Relationships with Industry

The ISCD recognizes the important benefits of partnering with industry (for-profit organizations that may have a conflict of interest with the mission of The ISCD) that have led to major medical advances, thereby improving human health. The common interests of healthcare providers and industry to advance medical care makes collaboration valuable. Even so, there are potential risks with any relationship that includes the financial goals of industry, and these may at times conflict with the professional goals of The ISCD. It is a principle of the ISCD that collaborating with and accepting financial support from industry does not necessarily reflect a conflict of interest.


1) Educational Programs of the ISCD (CME events)
All CME events will follow ACCME Standards for Commercial Support and other appropriate local regulatory guidelines (3, 4).

2) Position Development Conferences (PDC)
    a) Support In keeping with established ACCME guidelines for accepting commercial support from industry, support from industry for the PDC, if offered and considered appropriate, will be accepted in the form of educational grants for both the program and subsequent publications (3, 4).
    b) Participation of Industry in the PDC
    Employees of industry who have expertise, not otherwise available, may provide knowledge crucial to the PDC topics. Employees of industry may suggest, but cannot determine the PDC topics, content, or the Official Positions generated from the PDC.
3) Non CME Programs
    a) Influence on Content
    All non-CME programs of The ISCD are independent of all industry influence and as such industry will have no influence on the content.
    b) Commercial Support
    In keeping with established guidelines for accepting commercial support from industry, support for any non-CME program will be accepted in the form of educational grants for both the program and subsequent publications.
    c) Transparency and disclosure There will be full transparency and disclosure of financial relationships.
4) Disclosure of Board members and ISCD Committee Members Related to Relationships with Industry.
All members of The ISCD committees and Board members will provide disclosure of any financial relationships to industry.

5) General budgetary support
Financial support from industry will be accepted for the purpose of supporting the mission of The ISCD.

6) ISCD Publications
The content of The ISCD publications is free of industry influence. The Journal of Clinical Densitometry does accept paid advertising from industry.

7) Product endorsements
The ISCD will not endorse any industry products or services for the assessment or treatment of skeletal health.
