COI Guidelines, Regulations, & Training

Training

Conflict of Interest in Research and Intellectual Property

The COI Training consists of an overview of the UTSA Research Conflict of Interest policy (HOP 10.04) and the researcher’s responsibilities relating to conflict of interest in research and intellectual property. All researchers, tenured and tenure-track faculty are required to disclose any activity that falls under these federal regulations.

Researchers must complete training on the UTSA conflict of interest (COI) policy; applicable federal regulations; and requirements for disclosure of significant financial interests (SFIs) when the following activities occur:

  • The individual becomes a researcher (i.e., has direct responsibility for the design, conduct, or reporting of funded or unfunded research or sponsored projects),
  • The researcher is new to UTSA, or
  • The researcher is found to be non-compliant with the disclosure requirements.

Researchers must complete this training every year.
