MSI institutional integrity

Funding Independence

Financial support structured to prevent editorial, analytical or institutional capture.

The standard

Integrity embedded in institutional design

MSI will accept support only where the terms preserve independent judgement. Funders will not control research findings, publication decisions, expert appointments or institutional positions, and material sources of support will be disclosed.

Operating principles

  • No funder veto over findings or publication
  • Due diligence before funding is accepted
  • Diversified income and responsible concentration limits
  • Transparent disclosure of material support
