COMPLIANCE WITH NKF ACCREDITATION POLICY

Please initial each statement below indicating you have read, understand, and are willing to comply
I attest that the CE content for which I am responsible will be evidence-based, fair and balanced, unbiased, and free from control of an ineligible company.
No promotional activities may occur during CE events. This includes distribution of product brochures or product information in conjunction with the educational activity or handouts. No slides or handouts developed by an ineligible company may be used during presentations. I agree to not promote any specific proprietary or ineligible company interest in my role as planner or faculty/speaker.
I have not and will not accept payments or reimbursements from an ineligible company for my participation in this activity.
I understand that an employee of an ineligible company may NOT serve as a faculty or planner of CME/CE accredited by NKF if the educational content that the employee controls relates to the products and/or services of the ineligible company employer. If the content DOES NOT relate to the products and/or services of the ineligible company, the employee may be eligible to serve as speaker or planner, but the educational content must be reviewed (must be sent with the application) before approval of CE credit will be considered.
I understand that if I serve on a Speakers’ Bureau for the same clinical area as the education activity I plan to provide, and for which accreditation is being requested, my educational activity material(s) must be submitted for a full independent review at the time of the application submission before approval for CE credit will be considered.
I understand that if I engage in a financial relationship with an ineligible company after the CE program has been granted CE accreditation, but before the educational activity has been implemented/delivered, I must alert NKF and provide a new disclosure form. A second review for approval will become necessary before the activity can be delivered.
I understand that if changes are made to my educational presentation/material(s) after the CE program has been granted CME/CE accreditation, but before the educational activity has been implemented/delivered, I must alert NKF and provide information/documentation on the changes. A second review for approval will become necessary before the activity can be delivered.
I understand that failure to disclose, false disclosure, or inability to resolve conflicts of interest will require NKF to identify a replacement or not offer CE credit for this activity.
Signature
Note: By signing this application electronically, I certify the information provided is accurate. I understand that an electronic signature has the same effect and can be enforced in the same way as a written signature.
