Conflict of interest

SAB members cannot be involved in research proposals or be an applicant for a proposal of which they are the judge. Moreover, they cannot in any other way have interests which could result in a conflict of interest. They are dedicated to the ‘Guideline Conflict of Interest SAB’ and should act accordingly. The guideline orders SAB-members to be open about their relationship and interests concerning the applicant and his or her project proposal. In case a conflict of interest is detected (work related, personal of financial) it is not possible to act as a judge.

Reward policy

Members of the board and the SAB are entitled to a non-excessive fee for their activities, according to article 5.3 of het memorandum of association of the Hanarth Fonds. Moreover, they are entitled to a compensation of the costs they have made during the execution of their position (expense allowance).

Financial statements

A balance sheet and a report of income and expenditure of the Hanarth Fonds are delivered by the board annually, within six months after the end of the financial year (calendar year). These serve to show the value development of the assets managed by the Hanarth Fonds during the past year and the value of the assets at the end of that year. These are subject to audit.
