Conflict of Interest/Commitment (in Research) Disclosure

TTUHSC policy requires that all research study personnel disclose any actual (or potential) conflict of interest, and have a current financial disclosure on file.  This is done by completing the Conflict of Interest and Commitment (COIC) Training and Disclosure module at least annually, AND updated within thirty (30) days of a change in significant financial interests.  You will need to complete the COIC module if you are:

  • Research PERSONNEL involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of human subject research - both Non-Exempt and Exempt studies
    (this applies to: all TTUHSC Faculty/Staff/Residents/students)
  • Research STAFF involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of human subject research (i.e. RIO, CRI, etc.)
  • Listed as study personnel on any grant administered through the TTUHSC OSP (including educational and public service grants)
  • Serving as a member of a Review Board (includes both Amarillo and Lubbock)
  • Requesting an Cayuse account for ANY other reason (including course requirements)

For additional information about the policies for financial disclosures and conflict of interest, refer to  TTUHSC OP 73.09, Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research, and TTUHSC OP 10.05, Conflict of Interest and Commitment Policy.

If you have any questions about submitting a disclosure, visit the COIC Frequently Asked Questions page, or contact the IRB Education Coordinator.
