Hi, in our case, our COIC does not review these management plans - they review the more "complicated" plans for university startups, student engagement, equity interests, etc.. For family relationships, the department chair/representative does the review of the skillset to verify they meet the need. They are also the one who determines whether the plan can proceed or not. As COI official, I sign off that there's an acceptable strategy in place to manage the conflict.

Hope that's helpful,

Lisa

Hi Everyone,

A few additional questions for those who have processes for managing COIs created when related individuals conduct research together.

As you implement management plans for related individuals conducting research together, is that typically a smooth process, or do you ever have to work to build a consensus among the relevant groups about the need for a plan or the management mechanisms?

Do you have a COI committee and if yes, what are the responsibilities?

Do you have a process individuals may use if they wish to appeal a determination of COI?

Do you have a group or an individual who can make a final determination of a COI and the need for management?

Do you have a specific policy that governs related individuals conducting research together?

Thanks,
