About This Committee

The UCR Conflict of Interest Committee (COIC) reviews financial disclosures for both privately and federally sponsored projects and situations where a potential, perceived, or real conflict of interest exists by virtue of financial interest. It establishes management strategies to eliminate, manage or reduce conflicts of interest. It determines which strategies are appropriate and is responsible for ensuring their implementation and provides an oversight role and endeavors to safeguard the interests of the University and the individual principal investigator and ensure compliance with state and federal government mandates.

Resources

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) is an organization of 21 scientific professional societies that has long been interested in issues surrounding the outside financial interests of research scientists. In 2006, FASEB issued guiding principles and recommendations for investigators and the "toolkit" that FASEB's continued work has created, is to further enhance investigators' awareness and understanding of financial conflict of interest issues in order to promote adherence to all relevant policy issues, and facilitate voluntary practices that encourage personal responsibility. The toolkit, which contains the guiding principles, recommendations, advice on complying with conflict of interest policies, and other useful information, can be found at http://opa.faseb.org/pages/advocacy/coi/toolkit.htm.
