Research Conflict of Interest Procedures: Difference between revisions

The COI Committee shall consider the nature of the activity, the magnitude of the COI and its relation to the Covered Person’s research, the potential impact the COI might have on the integrity of the Covered Person’s decisions, and such other considerations as the COI Committee shall deem relevant in order to make a decision.  The COI Committee shall then determine whether the proposed management plan will adequately reduce or eliminate the COI and state its determination on the Conflict of Interest Committee Management Plan Form (Appendix D).  In rare instances, the COI Committee may determine that no management plan could adequately reduce the COI, and therefore prohibit the Covered Person from participating in the activity.  The COI committee chair shall forward a copy of the approved management plan to the Covered Person, the Covered Person’s supervisor, Sponsored Programs Administration, and also to the IRB for review and further modification if human subjects research is involved.
