[Plsfaculty] COI/COC annual submission

Wed Jun 2 09:53:28 MST 2021

Hello All Faculty,

Please ensure you submit your annual Conflict of Interest or Conflict of Commitment statements by June 11th. There is a new system that will be implemented, so to avoid any submission delays please ensure you complete by June 11th. Please see email below about the new system. Failure to disclose even the potential of a conflict can be grounds for discipline under various UArizona polices. When in doubt, disclose it!

Conflict of Interest<https://rgw.arizona.edu/compliance/conflict-interest-program>: can extend to personal relationships (with another employee, DCC, agent, student or third party at UArizona), procurement conflicts and research conflicts. More information:

Implementing a New, Faster Conflict of Interest System

The Conflict of Interest (COI) Program will launch a new system, eDisclosure, designed to make submitting COC Forms (Requests for Approval of Outside Employment and Commitments) easier and faster. For more information about the implementation process, please visit RII's New Systems Information webpage<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=d1e011e636f470115ff6b12286b64c94cfc68faa004cc2e29a0c05f8793f71d1731b17a5b370c2dc9f97ddaea86f58949838d68de0fec6e2ed6eaad1f1b6cf06>.

Please note the following important dates in the implementation process:

  *   June 11, 2021 - Last day to submit disclosures, research certifications, and COC Forms in the current system.
  *   June 12 - 30, 2021 - Blackout period (No COI or COC system will be available for submissions.)
  *   July 1, 2021 - eDisclosure available (For your first disclosure or certification in eDisclosure, you will need to disclose all entities, including those previously disclosed in the legacy COI Disclosure System.)

How will this affect you?
The new system is relevant to full-time University Employees who are employed or have a professional commitment outside of the University. Please visit the COI webpage<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=d1e011e636f47011b137a598bb84e3d17b508fe19cd4b6057d0b84e94dcd543a5d14c261b61b2c53819f21c3500a9d4ab3a51607a9393965d1623b0ff6e6b94f> to learn more about who should submit a COC form.

Please also note that beginning July 1, the Conflict of Interest Program will called the Office for Responsible Outside Interests to more closely focus on the program's goal: to align outside interests with the University's mission to disseminate knowledge through teaching, research, and public service in a way that ensures transparency, integrity and public trust.
