Independent by design

Separate governance and finances

PulmHealth Foundation is a Colorado nonprofit corporation with its own board of directors, its own governance, and its own finances. It is legally and operationally separate from PulmHealth LLC.

Related-party arrangements are documented

The Foundation may receive data, technology, services, facilities, or other support from affiliated or unaffiliated organizations through written agreements. Transactions involving affiliated entities are reviewed under the Foundation's conflict-of-interest policy and approved by disinterested directors where required.

Research independence

Research conclusions are controlled by the Foundation. Affiliated entities, sponsors, and contributors cannot suppress unfavorable findings, and may not control research methods, analysis, findings, or publication decisions.

Conflict disclosures and recusal

Directors and researchers disclose relevant interests. Conflicted directors recuse themselves from decisions where a conflict exists. Data-use and technology agreements are disclosed where appropriate.

Publication integrity

Findings are published with methods and limitations, using observational, non-causal language where the data do not support causal conclusions. This protects scientific integrity, transparency, and public benefit.
