<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Research Campus Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RII implemented a process in February 2023 where OROI verified that COI disclosures for investigators were up to date at the time of proposal to meet federal regulations.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the last month, we have sought feedback from campus to understand the impact and streamline this process to reduce as much administrative burden on campus as possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a result of that we are making a few changes that <b>don’t result in any more actions</b> on the part of the researchers & staff, however, clarify certain attestations and provide guidance. Here is a summary of changes that will go into
effect April 24, 2023.<o:p></o:p></p>
