Conflicts of Interest
The NIH FCOI regulation establishes standards to ensure that the design, conduct, or reporting of research funded under PHS grants is not biased by any conflicting financial interest of an Investigator (42 C.F.R. 50.601 et seq.). In accordance with 42 CFR 50.604(a), it is the responsibility of each Institution applying for or receiving NIH funding from a grant or cooperative agreement to maintain an up-to-date, written, enforced policy on financial conflicts of interest that complies with this subpart, and make such policy available via a publicly accessible Web site.
