Conflict of Interest Committee

Submission Process
Initial Review

The University of Kansas Medical Center requires reporting of conflicts of interest in order to comply with Federal regulations and Kansas Board of Regents' policy and to ensure the integrity of our research program.

Upon employment, reporting is required of the following:

• KUMC faculty and unclassified staff
• All KUPI employees and KUMC students or residents 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 research complete this form.

Each identified potential conflict is reviewed by the Office of Compliance staff and the Chair. For those issues that require full committee discussion, designated reviewers from the committee membership are assigned. They review the materials submitted and present the case to the committee. Often the faculty or staff member with the potential conflict is invited to meet with the committee to discuss the issue and may participate in the development of a management plan if one is necessary.

Conflict of interest reporting is confidential and will be handled as such.
