All individuals responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research at the University of North Texas must complete a COI disclosure. Submit or update a COI Disclosure Profile via Qualtrics:
Reach out to untcoi@unt.edu with any issues.
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.
When UNT students are part of a sponsored research project or employed by a company owned by a UNT faculty member, specific requirements must be outlined in the Management Plan. If a student is employed by a faculty member (via grant or outside company), this student should not also be taking classes from them that semester. If a student is employed by a faculty member (via grant or outside company) and this faculty member is their thesis committee Chair, then a co-Chair or alternate chair should be named.
