Financial Conflict of Interest Policy Change Forthcoming
As Public Health Service-funded investigators may be aware, the PHS (which includes the National Institutes of Health) has implemented a new regulation that governs Financial Conflict of Interest policies at institutions that accept PHS research funds. In order to ensure a continuous and seamless flow of proposal submissions and of award processing, The University of Texas at Austin will implement a revised Objectivity in Research policy and new procedures that incorporate necessary changes to meet the federal requirements.
The university’s revised policy requiring disclosure of financial interests applies to all individuals who are involved in the design, conduct or reporting of research with additional disclosure requirements for PHS-funded researchers and staff working on PHS-funded studies. For more information on the new PHS policy, go to Frequently Asked Questions.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is providing funds to stimulate the economy. Federal agencies have geared up to fund research under the act. See the university's Recovery Act page for more information.
Use the modification form or send an e-mail to IACUC@austin.utexas.edu to remove students who no longer work on your protocols and to add new members who join your lab over the summer. Learn more at the Office of Research Support.
