Open Comment Period for Non-Financial Conflict of Interest Policy
Dear colleagues,
Motivated by a variety of new Federal Agency requirements as well as a recommendation from the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP), the Norman Campus has developed a DRAFT non-financial conflict of interest policy in addition to its existing financial conflict of interest policy (described in Section 5.10 of the Norman Campus Faculty Handbook). Several groups have provided input to the new policy, including the Norman Campus Faculty Senate (and Executive Committee), Norman Campus Staff Senate, Norman Campus Deans, VPR Advisory Committee, and Conflict of Interest Advisory Committee.
The draft non-financial conflict of interest policy, and accompanying draft user’s guide, are now posted for a 30-day open comment period for Norman Campus faculty and staff (including faculty and staff in Norman Campus programs at OU Tulsa). To access the drafts and more information about how to provide comments, please visit http://vpr-norman.ou.edu/non-financial-COI-open-comment and log in with your 4+4 account information. The comment period ends Friday, May 4.
Thanks very much!
