The Research Conflicts of Interest (RCOI) program requires investigators to remain current with the following two requirements:
- Research COI training course completion in CITI
Complete the course or check the expiration date - COI disclosure submission in Cayuse Platform
Complete or update your research disclosure form
Who must complete and maintain current RCOI training and disclosure submissions?
Active investigators. The term “active investigators” refers to:
- Anyone who has (or will soon have) responsibility for a significant aspect of the design, conduct, outcomes, or reporting of the proposed project is an “active investigator”.
- All Principal Investigators, Investigators, and Senior/Key personnel involved with funding proposals or subsequent awards.
The PI is responsible for directing project team members to complete RCOI requirements when they meet the definition above, regardless of the person’s title or position. An active investigator could hold titles or positions such as courtesy, affiliate, or emeritus faculty, consultants, research staff, instructors, post-doctoral researchers, graduate student researchers, etc.
When must I review and update my research disclosure information?
Prior to submission of any research funding proposal
- Within 30 days of acquiring an external financial interest (including starting a company that hasn’t accumulated value yet)
- At least annually, for as long as you are an active investigator affiliated with OSU
