The URI Board of Trustees recently approved updates to the Policies on Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research on Conflicts of Commitment in Research. The policies were updated to incorporate the new Department of Energy regulations at 2 CFR 910 Subpart C. Notably, researchers must update their significant financial interest and outside activity disclosures within 15 days of any changes; this was reduced from 30 days. In addition, Conflicts of Interest training must be completed every 2 years; this was reduced from 4 years. More information may be found on the Conflict of Interest and Commitment in Research page. Please reach out to ResearchIntegrity@etal.uri.edu with any questions.
