ATS Compliance with the Council of Medical Specialty Societies
Code for Interactions with Companies

The American Thoracic Society (ATS) Board of Directors adopted the Council of Medical Specialty Societies Code for Interactions with Companies (CMSS Code) in October 2010.  The CMSS Code Standard 2.2 states:

“Societies will disclose Company support (at a minimum Educational Grants, Corporate Sponsorships, Charitable Contributions, and support of Research Grants), making this information available to their members and the public.”

In compliance with the CMSS Code, the ATS is pleased to disclose annually all financial and in-kind relationships with companies that support or participate in ATS activities, which helps make what we do possible.
