Does the institution require that all significant consulting contracts be reported to a standing committee charged with reviewing and managing individual and institutional conflicts of interest?:
The policy language that requires that all significant consulting contracts be reviewed for conflicts of interest:
Annual Conflict of Interest Disclosure Covered Employees are required to complete the Annual Conflict of Interest Disclosures (“annual disclosure”) by a date established by the Provost’s Office in order to identify activities that may create a Conflict of Interest or Commitment. In addition to the annual disclosure, Covered Employees are required to disclose new financial interests, relationships, or activities as they arise throughout the year. These requirements are a condition of employment for all Covered Employees. Additional details on the completion and submission of annual disclosures are in instructional materials periodically updated by RIO and posted on the UNCW Conflict of Interest website. 2. Project-Specific Conflict of Interest Disclosure for Externally-Funded Projects Covered Employees are required to complete a conflict of interest form with each grant proposal submitted through the Research Administration Management System & eSubmission (RAMSeS). This requirement is in addition to the annual disclosure requirement described above. C. Disclosure Review and Management 1. Disclosure Review Initial review of annual or project-specific disclosures will be conducted by the RIO director or designee, who will determine whether: a) a report is complete and has been properly submitted; and b) supervisory review or review by the Associate Provost for Research and/or the Office of General Counsel is needed due to disclosure of a potential conflict.

Does the institution prohibit participation in sponsored research that restricts investigator access to the complete study data or that limits investigators’ ability to verify the accuracy and validity of final reported results?:

Sponsored Research strongly discourages any sponsored program that would restrict an investigator’s access to generated data or their ability to validate it. We further discourage projects that restrict the investigator’s ability to publish the research. Sponsored Research has not accepted a sponsored project like this in the last 6 years.
