Conflict of Interest Reporting Instructions

The University of Kansas Medical Center participates in annual reporting of conflicts of interest in order to comply with Federal regulations and Kansas Board of Regents’policy. Federal regulations require 100% compliance with conflict of interest reporting.

Financial relationships between sponsors and researchers are increasingly in the public eye so this process is also a critical step in maintaining the integrity of our research programs. Conflict of interest reporting contributes to both human subject safety and research integrity. It protects the reputation of the researcher, as well as that of the University, while providing research subjects pertinent information for giving an informed consent.

Annual reporting is required of

  • All KUMC faculty and unclassified staff; and
  • All KUPI and KUHA employees, KUMC students or residents and any others participating in KUMC research.

Principal investigators with KUMC appointments must ensure that all staff (including KUPI, KUHA or VA employees), students and residents participating in their research complete this form.

Conflict of interest reporting is confidential and will be handled as such. When real or perceived conflicts of interest are identified, the goal is to develop a management plan with the Conflict of Interest Committee so that subject safety and data integrity are not compromised and the research is not impeded.

To complete the required reporting:

The Conflict of Interest Reporting Form for fiscal year 2010 is available for immediate completion in the CHALK training site. Conflict of Interest (COI) reporting is required of all University of Kansas Medical Center and KU School of Medicine-Wichita faculty and unclassified staff, as well as all individuals who are study personnel in KUMC or KUSM-W research.

PLEASE NOTE: THE FY 2010 CONFLICT OF INTEREST REPORTING FORM HAS CHANGED.

While the appearance of the form is similar to last year's form, the reporting thresholds that have been used in the past have been removed.

Government regulations require 100% compliance with conflict of interest reporting. Conflict of interest reporting is confidential and will be handled as such.

Please complete the required disclosure by September 18, 2009.
