| (a) To minimize the potential for Conflicts of Interest
in the Peer Review of Grant Applications, the Institute recruits individuals
who live and work outside of the State to serve as Scientific Research
and Prevention Programs Committee Members, including Patient Advocates,
unless a special need justifies using one or more individuals living
or working in Texas.
(b) If an individual who lives or works in Texas is
appointed to serve as a Scientific Research and Prevention Programs
Committee Member, an explanation of the special need must be provided
at the time the Chief Executive Officer's appointment is approved
by the Oversight Committee and recorded in the minutes of the Oversight
Committee meeting.
