The Dartmouth College Conflict of Interest system is for use by Dartmouth College faculty, staff, students and trainees. For each individual involved in the design, conduct or reporting of each research project, the Conflict of Interest Disclosure form must be filed before submission to the sponsor.
Revised Conflict of Interest regulations announced by the Public Health Service in August 2011 require that all PHS-funded key personnel** receive training in Financial Conflict of Interest, the investigator's responsibilities regarding disclosure of significant financial interests, and the regulations themselves. Education is mandated "prior to engaging in research related to any PHS-funded grant and at least every four years, and immediately" when any of several conditions apply, such as a change in institutional policy, a researcher is new to the institution, or when a researcher is found to be out of compliance.
*PHS agencies include: NIH, ACF, AoA , AHRQ, ATSDR, CDC, CMS, FDA, HRSA, IHS, SAMHS
**Key Personnel is defined as anyone responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research. This may include consultants or collaborators.
One session is required to complete the initial mandatory education requirement.
In order to avoid delays in funding requests or awards, all key personnel are urged to attend one of the upcoming sessions as soon as possible.
Attendance will be tracked. In addition to the sessions listed in the Registration Form, departments may request a session at a mutually convenient time.
Contact: Liz Bankert or Jill Mortali with any questions
The COI process is designed to ensure objectivity in the design, conduct, or reporting of research. As required by federal regulations, a designated official(s) must review all financial disclosures, determine whether a financial conflict of interest exists, and, if so, determine what actions should be taken by the Institution to manage, reduce, or eliminate such conflict of interest.
Submitted information will be reviewed by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and the Office of Sponsored Projects. If needed, information will also be reviewed by the Dartmouth College Conflict of Interest Committee (COIC).
To access the system, please click on the Start/Manage COI link here or below. (The application image on this page is also a link.) You will proceed to a login screen and enter your Dartmouth ID and password. If you have questions about your Dartmouth ID or other access issues, please contact the Dartmouth College Help Desk or call 603-646-2999. (The Geisel School of Medicine researchers contact DMS Computing Support or call 603-650-1600.) Once you have logged into the system, you will select the project for which you are reporting and answer two questions. If your responses are “no”, you will have completed the process. If you respond “yes” to either question, you will be asked to provide additional information.
NOTE: Anyone doing a COI disclosure must have a DND account. All College employees and The Geisel School of Medicine faculty already have DND accounts, but for faculty not yet at Dartmouth or others without an account, a sponsored account must be established. Read about Sponsored DND Accounts and download a request form.
