While corporate sponsorships provide numerous benefits, they can also present challenges. These may include: 1. Conflict of Interest: There is a risk of conflicts of interest if the sponsoring company has vested interests that may influence clinical decisions or research outcomes. 2. Bias in Research: Sponsorships might lead to biased research if the funding entity has a preference for certain outcomes. 3. Dependency: Relying heavily on corporate support can create dependency, which may be problematic if the sponsorship is withdrawn.
