Conflict of Interest Research Committee (COI-RC)

The COI Research Committee (COI-RC) is charged with reviewing instances of potential or actual financial conflicts of interest in research and for developing and reviewing monitoring plans to manage the conflicts that are capable of being managed.

Florida International University promotes objectivity in research by establishing and maintaining standards that require the design, conduct, and reporting of research conducted at the University, or on its behalf, be free from bias due to any conflict of interest.

This site contains the necessary guidance and tools to assist employees during the COI Monitoring submission, review and, if applicable, approval process. You can find them on the right navigation menu, which includes an overview of the COI Process, the requirements for Implementing a Monitoring Plan, and guidance on Managing a Monitoring Plan.
