Subject: Guidelines for COI reporting

To: Research Administrators and Investigators

Based on the feedback we've received regarding the new conflict of 
interest forms and the resulting change on page 2 of the SPS Proposal 
Routing Sheet (PRS), the following guidelines are provided as 
clarification of the current reporting process:

- All investigators must answer the new question on the PRS ("Have you 
filed a "Report of Financial Interests" with the OVPR?"). The proposal 
may still be submitted if an investigator responds "no" to the question, 
but a signed report for that investigator *must* be forwarded to the COI 
office within ten (10) business days after proposal submission.

- Check ALL appropriate boxes when reporting the "Reason for 
disclosure", particularly if the project involves human subjects.

- Remember to always visit our website 
(http://www.vpr.arizona.edu/COI-forms) before completing COI forms, to 
make sure you are using the most recent version.

- Signed reports should be scanned and sent as an email attachment to 
coi at email.arizona.edu. We will accept forms via fax or campus mail if 
you do not have access to a scanner, but email attachments are preferred.

- If funding is awarded, it is the responsibility of the Principal 
Investigator to ensure that disclosable interests are reported by *all 
appropriate personnel* (additional information is available online at 
http://www.vpr.arizona.edu/reporting-instructions).

NOTE:  Brief informational sessions on the COI reporting process will be 
held beginning in September for all interested faculty, staff, and 
students; the current schedule is attached and also posted on our 
website at http://www.vpr.arizona.edu/conflict-of-interest.

If you need further information or assistance with the COI forms, feel 
free to contact me at lovely at email.arizona.edu or 626-7879.
