Presentation Outline
• Research ethics and shared values
• Historical events influencing research
• Research Regulations• Institutional review boards (IRB)• Informed consent• Vulnerable populations• Conflict of interest and conflict of commitment
• Research misconduct
• Reporting research and scholarship• Publication• Authorship• Peer review
Conflict of Interest (COI):
Conflict of Commitment (COC):
COI/COC situations can impact areas related to your responsibilities, including:
o Mentoring of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty
o Human subjects enrollment
o Purchasing decisions
o Acceptance of gifts
o Technology transfer
o Use of University resources
Unsure whether a situation represents a conflict of interest or
commitment between your obligation and an outside interest, activity, or
relationship? Ask yourself if the relationship could:
1. Lead to personal gain
2. Give improper advantage to someone other than your institution
3. Negatively impact your research
4. Unduly influence the business of your institution
5. Negatively affect your institution or other professional obligations
Some COI situations (e.g., financial interests) require a formal disclosure to
your unit and/or COI Committee. Others (e.g., influence upon procurement
decisions) rely on your knowledge of policies and your conscience to
behave ethically as opposed to formal disclosure.
Remember, having an outside interest does not necessarily mean you have a conflict of interest or
commitment. Conflicts are also not inherently bad or prohibited. However, failure to properly disclose an
outside interest that relates to your institutional responsibilities can lead to problems. All investigators on a
sponsored project must evaluate if they have financial or management interests to disclose.
What do I disclose?
o Time (i.e. length of a relationship and estimated professional effort spent on the outside interest)
o Type of relationship with the outside entity (e.g., consultant, honoraria speaker, board member, etc.)
o Equity interest in and/or compensation from the outside entity and its value
o Travel paid by the outside entity (PHS or unit-specific policy)
o Association (e.g., sponsor, product use, licensed inventions, subcontract with) with your research

o Misconduct in the performance and reporting of scholarship and research is a serious matter that may result in
disciplinary action by an institution and/or the federal government
o Serious lapses in integrity, including the falsification of results, plagiarism, and the abuse of confidentiality are
easily recognized across disciplines as serious offences. Such offenses may result in dismissal from an
institution.
o Less serious practices serve to undermine the quality of the research and the significance of authorship. While
practices designed to maximize the number of publications and to use authorship as a reward for more senior
faculty or others may not be considered as egregious, these practices erode the quality of scholarship at an
institution.
