Are there special regulations when NIH research is involved?
• Yes. Generally, any financial interest relating to the NIH-sponsored research, or in a commercial entity interested in the research, amounting to $10,000 in a 12-month period or equity valued at $10,000 or amounting to 5% of the total equity of the commercial entity must be reported to the NIH. This reporting is done by UMB and includes information on the financial interest as well as the management of the conflict of interest by the University.
