Congratulations on your recent submission. Your proposal involves funding from a Public Health Service (PHS) program (e.g. NIH, FDA, CDC, SAMHSA, etc.) Accepting PHS funds includes abiding by federally mandated regulations that seek to mitigate financial conflicts of interest that could compromise objective research. As a result, RIT is required to implement formal financial conflict of interest disclosure (FCOI) procedures and training for awarded PHS funded projects.
Through this web page, you may familiarize yourself with these requirements in an effort to reduce possible delays at time of award. Should your proposal be awarded, you cannot begin the project until these disclosures and associated training are completed. See the following link for details -
