Research administrators continue to hear about the increasing national focus on conflicts of interest at research institutions. This hot topic is resulting in additional pressures to identify conflicts of interests, reduce, manage or eliminate the conflicts related to research and provide more reports to agencies or sponsors. This workshop will explore the regulations and guidance documents governing conflicts of interest in research, as well as some common models for implementing those regulations at a university or research institution. In addition, this workshop will look at how the regulations and institutional policies and procedures affect a research administrator's ability to manage the proposal submission, award set-up, project management and compliance oversight functions.
We will use case studies to illustrate the key components of a conflict of interest program. Discussions from the audience and faculty will also identify some of the hot topics being discussed by sponsors, regulatory agencies and the government about the management of conflicts of interests at academic institutions. Tools, policies, procedures, forms and other helpful ideas will be shared to for participants to use at their home institution.
