In the current research environment, institutions and individual researchers are participating in increasingly complex collaborations with outside entities that result in potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest. You have policies and procedures for disclosures by individuals and some have policies and procedures for identifying institutional conflicts of interest. You're familiar with developing management plans for of individual conflicts of interest and are developing your plans for managing institutional conflicts of interest. What's next? Who negotiates, implements and monitors the management plans? What if an individual fails to meet their obligations? This workshop is intended for an audience that understands the basics of financial conflict of interest regulations, policies and management, and is interested in gaining more experience in managing and monitoring more complex individual conflicts of interest - as well as institutional conflicts. We will explore the public and industry response to conflicts of interest in research and the evolving issues associated with institutional conflicts of interest. We will discuss the impact of these responses on our institutions. In an interactive session, facilitated case studies will offer participants the opportunity to develop and implement management plans for a variety of scenarios. Discussions will also identify best practices for managing conflicts of interests and tools in use by the participants at their institutions.
