[CCoE Notice] New UH COIC Forms

[Fritz Claydon]

All:


The University of Houston has made significant changes to its Policy on
Financial Conflicts of Interest in response to new regulations promulgated
by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. These
regulatory requirements must be in place by August 24, 2012. The updated
forms are attached.

 Some additional Notes:

****

 ****

-          Upcoming Proposals:  PI's with proposal deadlines in August and
September need to process the new COIC immediately.  We are required to
have a new COIC prior to submission.

**-          **Upcoming Awards:  As above, need to process new COIC
immediately to avoid delays in cost centers and start of projects.****

-          Approval Process:  It’s best for PI's to monitor this process
through to completion and keep a copy of their approved COIC on their
desktop.   If a form does get lost or is not uploaded for some reason, the
PI can always send a desktop copy to Gerri, Rudy, and Winsome directly so
there is no delay.

-          Upload of COI to RAMP:  Once the Department receives a completed
form, the COIC needs to be uploaded immediately to ensure submissions and
award setups are not delayed.

**-          **RA Group:  We will keep copies of the COIs sent to us.
During the transition, the PI must send us a PDF of the approved form if
not already visible in RAMP.   If you prefer, we can upload to RAMP.  This
means that the Department will need to check before uploading to ensure two
duplicate COIs are not in RAMP.****

**-          **Disclosure of Financial Interests:  If you see this
situation, please let me know so I can be sure the associated information
is uploaded.****

Thanks
