Step 2: Disclosure Review Process

Research Integrity and Compliance (RIC) conducts a pre-review of all disclosures and communicates with researchers to obtain required information.

RIC routes all positive disclosures to the COI Committee for review.

Step 3: Management Plans

If the SFI disclosed requires a management plan, the COI Committee and RIC will work with researchers to create and submit a proposed management plan.

All Management Plans proposed by the COI Committee are subject to final approval by the VPR.

RIC will send the final decision to the Investigator for review and signature.
