BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY POLICY ON FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RELATED TO PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE (PHS) FUNDING
(Effective 24 August 2012)

Brandeis University is committed to overseeing the conduct of research in a manner that ensures the integrity of the research process and maintains the public trust and that of sponsors in the integrity and credibility of its faculty, its staff, and its research programs. In accordance with the Brandeis University Financial Conflicts of Interest Policy, university research personnel will report their external commitments and financial interests in a timely manner and real and apparent financial conflicts of interest of research personnel will be identified and responsibly managed.

The Public Health Service (PHS) has recently implemented new regulations (see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/coi/index.html) governing the disclosure and administration of financial conflicts of interest related to PHS-funded research. Please follow the links below to understand how Brandeis University will implement this new regulatory requirement, and its program for training investigators, reviewing disclosures, and carrying out any necessary enforcement and reporting actions.

The policy governing financial conflict of interest applies to all Investigators of the Institution. The Institutional Official is responsible for ensuring implementation of this policy and may suspend all relevant activities until the financial conflict of interest is resolved or other action deemed appropriate by the Institutional Official is implemented. Violation of any part of these policies may also constitute cause for disciplinary or other administrative action pursuant to Institutional policy. The University's existing Conflict of Interest Policy remains in effect, and applies to all situations involving the disclosure and resolution of conflicts that are not explicitly covered by this policy. Every researcher has an obligation to become familiar with, and abide by, the provisions of this Policy.
