Board composition was identified from society websites, payment data from the Open Payments database, and conflict of interest (COI) policies from IRS Form 990 filings.

In 2022, 13\u2009187 payments totaling $57.8 million were reported, with 79.5% related to research. Most societies reported internal COI policies (77.8%) and annual disclosure requirements (75.6%) via IRS filings.
