What is the role of the Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research Committee?
This standing Committee of the Dean reviews financial disclosure statements submitted with the Grants and Contracts application by individual investigators with the GCO application in order to: assess the potential risks posed by outside financial interests; determine whether to allow financially conflicted investigator(s) to participate in the proposed research project; and to develop study-specific management plans to eliminate, reduce or control potential financial conflicts. The Committee also reviews and develops management plans for institutional conflicts of interest. The Committee maintains records of all decisions that it makes.
