UMBC implemented the KualiResearch Conflict of Interest (COI) module to document the disclosure processes for Public Health Service (PHS) and Non-PHS submitted proposals that are governed by the UMBC Interim Policy on Individual Financial Conflicts of Interest in PHS Funded ResearchandUMBC Policy on Individual Conflicts of Interest in Research & Product Development. Your disclosure is linked to any proposal you’ve submitted in Proposal Development while working with OSP.

If you have any questions specifically regarding COI, please point persons to the COI USER Guide, https://research.umbc.edu/files/2018/01/COI-USER-GUIDE-Steps-for-completing-the-Kuali-COI-financial-disclosure-01.11.2018-1.pdf.

Principal investigators departments are reminded that CITI COI training is required before any proposals submitted in Proposal Development (and Kuali COI). To see more information on this compliance training, go to https://research.umbc.edu/conflict-of-interest-training-2/

The ORPC staff are ready to assist and service COI’s through Kuali, so if you have any questions after 1st reviewing the guide, please send an email to compliance@umbc.edu.
