Balancing industry influence in toxicology involves maintaining a clear distinction between funding and research outcomes. Independent oversight, such as third-party audits and peer review, can help ensure that research remains objective. Additionally, fostering a culture of transparency and emphasizing the importance of scientific integrity in research collaborations can mitigate undue influence. Engaging multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and academia, in setting research agendas can also promote a balanced approach.
