 abstract = {Science advisors play a critical role in government policy making, yet these advisors                are often equally attractive to regulated industry. Despite efforts to manage                conflicts of interest among science advisors, allegations of conflict frequently                plague advisory committee deliberations or outcomes. This article examines what we                term the “shared pool” dilemma using data collected from 92                members of 11 US Food and Drug Administration advisory committees. The results                suggested science advisors were generally positive about their experiences on                advisory committees and viewed the committee process as impartial. Written comments                suggested that advisors linked the neutrality of the process to the success of the                FDA’s conflict-of-interest procedures. Even so, the advisors acknowledged                the challenges associated with recruiting disinterested and qualified                scientists to serve on advisory committees, reflecting the shared pool dilemma. Many                advisors seemed more troubled about advisors participating when they lacked                expertise than when they had minor conflicts of interest.},
