Conflict of Interest (COI)
ذكذكتسئµ University maintains a research environment that promotes the highest standards of integrity and ethics. To ensure that all research and sponsored program activity conducted by university researchers is free from bias resulting from conflicts of interest (COI), it is paramount faculty and staff members identify, disclose, and appropriately manage or eliminate situations in which their personal or familial interest might otherwise compromise their objectivity.
An effective conflict of interest policy helps both to safeguard the work and reputations of the University faculty and staff members and to ensure the University's compliance with federal and other regulatory requirements relating to COI.
Required Training
Conflict of Interest Training is designed to satisfy requirements associated with the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) regulations on COI in all research, funded and unfunded regardless of the source of funding. It is recommended to complete the COI training prior to submitting a grant proposal.
