Training must be completed prior to submission of the grant proposal and at least every four years thereafter. Additionally, investigators must renew their training if (1) the Policy on Financial Conflict of Interest in Research is substantively amended or (2) it is determined that an Investigator has not complied with the policy or with a management plan related to their research. The relevant CITI course is titled “Financial Conflict of Interest.”

Conflict of Commitment training is strongly recommended for anyone responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research at the URI — including principal investigators, project directors, consultants, graduate students, and others — who receives and / or proposes to receive funding from external sources.
