Update on Proposal Guideline Review & Financial Conflicts of Interest
Update on Proposal Guideline Review & Financial Conflicts of Interest
Background: 好色先生鈥檚 Financial Conflicts of Interest (FCOI) policy requires that investigators on sponsored research proposals or awards annually disclose any personal financial interests in order to ensure that those interests do not compromise research objectivity.
Many federal sponsors, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), require that awardee institutions have an FCOI policy that is compliant with the Public Health Service鈥檚 (PHS) regulations on Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research. Sponsors may require 好色先生 to certify at the proposal stage that our policy is compliant with the Federal PHS Policy. This certification is provided by the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration鈥檚 (OSPA) Director, Kim C. Carter, as the Authorized Signing Official.
Pre-Submission Guideline Review: If you are preparing a proposal submission, please forward the proposal guidelines to your COM Grants Proposal Specialist (GPS) as soon as possible. Per recent guidance from OSPA, your COM Grants Proposal Specialist (GPS) will now specifically review your guidelines for any sponsor requirements that exceed or are in conflict with 好色先生鈥檚 FCOI policy. In that event, your GPS can help coordinate with 好色先生鈥檚 COI Administrator in OSPA to ensure your proposal鈥檚 compliance with both 好色先生鈥檚 policy and sponsor requirements.
