Spotlight NEW THIS YEAR FOR ANNUAL CERTIFICATIONS : Due to increased scrutiny regarding international affiliations and collaborations, we are asking all federally funded investigators to report as an External Activity, any appointments at non-US academic or research institutions, as required by Faculty Handbook, Section 13.3.A., Policy Regarding Teaching, Research, and Other Service Outside the Faculty Member’s School at Emory or Other Institutions. Faculty must report whether they are receiving research or other funding through external organizations in addition to any stipends, salary, living expenses, travel or honoraria. Reminders: Activities of Investigators that require disclosure include: remuneration greater than $5,000 from any US and foreign consulting relationships; any ownership interest in any privately held company (e.g., in a US or foreign start-up company); equity (i.e., stock holdings) greater than $5000 in any publicly traded company; management/fiduciary roles in any non-Emory entities; any IP Licensing fees and/or royalties greater than $5000; and any sponsored travel paid by a foreign institution or government, company, or foundation that is greater than $5000. Disclosure should be made annually, as well as within 30 days of acquiring a new financial interest. Investigators who are faculty with nine-month contracts or are part-time faculty must report remuneration if it meets the above criteria thresholds and is received during the previous year regardless of whether or not they are not on campus. Timing: For all research performed at Emory, investigators must complete Financial Interest in Research Reports for the below listed situations: at time of initiation for the project on an annual basis for the life of the award at time of annual progress report twelve months after the Notice of Award, and/or twelve months after initiation of the project All research projects, including clinical trials and internally funded research, require annual Investigator Financial Interest Related to Research forms. This includes No-Cost Extensions. Research Administrators and/or PIs must initiate a new Proposal Financial Interest in Research Report each year of the project in the eCOI system. Only select "amend" to make changes to Proposal Financial Interest in Research Report during the last 12 months (e.g., adding new team members, change of PI). Public Health Service Studies: Once TBD investigators have been identified, they must complete an Investigator Financial Interest in Research Report within 30 days. COI disclosures are not needed for individuals listed as "Other Significant Contributors" unless the PI has indicated that the individuals are responsible for and has the authority to make independent decisions regarding the design, conduct or reporting of the research. If you have added a project to the eCOI system that either was not funded or no longer active, please remove the Proposal Financial Interest in Research Report form from your dashboard: Go to your eCOI Home page Click "manage my proposals" Find the report and click "remove" under proposal actions ¿ EMORY HOME CONTACTS EMERGENCY CAREERS GIVE TO EMORY ABOUT EMORY'S WEB Copyright © 2019 Emory University - All Rights Reserved | 201 Dowman Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30322 USA 404.727.6123...
