Subject: [RESADM-L] Conflict of Interest and Financial Disclosure

Our university currently explicitly requires the submission of financial
disclosure statements for all DHHS/PHS and NSF applications.  We do not,
however, explicitly require them for applications to other federal agencies,
to private foundations or for industry contracts (although the IRB will
require them via a vis FDA requirements and the contacts themselves
frequently address this point).

I am, however, increasingly uncomfortable with not requiring such disclosure
for non-DHHS/PHS and NSF application.  I am, therefore, turning to you for
guidance.  What are the policies/practices at your institution regarding the
submission of financial disclosure statements?  Do you require them for all
applications?  Grants and contracts?   Federal and private funding sources?

Thank you.

John

Subject: [RESADM-L] Incentive Programs

The Van Andel Institute, an independent non-profit cancer research
institute, is beginning to investigate mechanisms for incentivizing
Scientific Investigators (faculty) to seek out and obtain extramural
funding.  We would like to hear from organizations/institutions who have
developed incentive plans.
 - How does your incentive plan work?
 - How is your plan funded, i.e., from internal funds, F&A recovery,
etc.
 - How long has the plan been in operation?
 - Have you been able to measure the impact of the plan on faculty
productivity with respect to    grant activity, e.g., increased numbers of
grants submitted, increase in total direct costs     requested, etc.?

The other question we are asking relates to utilization of the internal
funds released by the direct costs received from grants:
 - What does your organization/institution do with the money that is
freed up from grants?
 - Do you return a portion back to Investigator/Department/School
budgets for expenses,     salaries, etc?
 - Do you allow the recovery of salary from grants to increase or
provide a bonus to the faculty           member's salary?

Please feel free to respond to the listserve or directly to the email
address noted below.  Thank you for sharing.
