VI. Investigators Financial Disclosure and Conflict of Interest Statement

1. Purpose
   Federal regulations require investigators to disclose any significant financial interest that would reasonably appear to be affected by the proposed sponsored project. These disclosures must be made at the time of IRB submission. If the institutional official determines that a financial interest may "directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting" of the results, then the institution must implement procedures to manage, reduce, or eliminate the conflict of interest.
   
   
2. Process
   For all sponsored research studies (e.g., NIH, industry, foundations), all investigators listed in the protocol (see above) must complete and submit a financial disclosure and conflict of interest statement. For protocols submitted to the OSP, these forms must be submitted to the NYUCD Office of Research for review prior to IRB submission. For protocols submitted to the NYUSM IRB, these forms must be submitted to the NYUCD Office of Research and the NYUSM IRB office.
