The Financial Conflict of Interest policies of the University serve as a guide to faculty and other employees with principal responsibility for research projects conducted at Cal State LA. The policies also establish procedures for compliance with State and Federal requirements for review and oversight of research.
Conflict of Interest Training
New and continuing investigators will need to complete CITI Program's Financial Conflict of Interest training.
The Department of Health and Human Services has issued revised federal regulations regarding financial conflicts in research funded by the Public Health Services (PHS). The regulations implement requisite training for PIs and other investigators and impose new compliance responsibilities on the University. The Office of Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs have worked together to revise both Cal State LA’s conflict of interest policy for PHS- funded research and the financial conflict of interests disclosure forms.
*includes non-PHS agencies that have adopted PHS guidelines (see policy below)
PHS-funded Financial Conflict of Interest Policy and disclosure forms:
- Cal State LA’s Financial Conflict of Interest Policy for PHS-funded research
- PHS -- PI disclosure form
- PHS -- Other Investigators/Key Personnel disclosure form
Just a quick reminder that if you are receiving or have applied to receive PHS (NIH) funds, you still need to register for a Financial Conflict of Interest training.
